TX FD Supa Angle Knuckles?

Ive searched on this forum, and saw a few months ago that JTP/Hotline was looking to get their spindle mods R&D completed for FD (the FC ones are dope). Looked into a set of PBM, and their charging a decent price, but i will always pay for quality. Any news on these happpenings of these coming into production?

ended up getting 52 deg of angle with rack spacer and outer tie rod kit.
can't remember what the final effective offset was, but it's obviously on a wide fender and spaced out. no rubbing at full lock either direction on a 18x9.5 with 235/40/18 615k

Thanks Justin. ^ you should put together a little kit with spacers and tie rods and call it the "hotline Supa Dupa Angle Kit." Either way i'll send you my knuckles with this next paycheck

Rad, dunno if mick frial talked to you yet or anything but you should try to make it out to thunder on the lot. Mick's doing the whole event, should be a good time. Even if my cars not ready i'll be out there. You should come out to the good ol Av haha

I've Always wondered whats the difference performance wise between the hotline style above where the tie rod pickup is welded to the arm and the stepped design I see often like Rotary Works did on Jeff Jones FD (and I did on my FC).



No one has to give up their angle secrets. I'm just interested in the scientific theory behind doing one or the other.
