is it possible to run stock fenders with the JTP knuckles? or will it hit/grab the fenders for sure. i'm already pretty damn close with the MazdaTrix steering angle kit, rolled fenders and one inch spacers. i'm running a 17x7 +35 all around. every time i've seen them (modded knuckles) on a car it's either got widebody front fenders or it's on jackstands which is obviously deceiving. first hand opinions please. thanks.

 

you should be good... if you have stiff coils and you clear lock to lock, you'll be good.
My FC, i pulled the fenders a little via the bottom bolts, and the top fender bolts. which worked cool with the satoru spindles. (not as aggressive but still if it would rub, it would've) then later i picked up shine's just because they looked rad, and i needed good quality stuff.

the only way to find out is throw them on, and figure it out from there. either way you need his spindles. if they rub a little hit up shine, save up and pick up the 30mm front fenders.
JTP's spindles are legit. i need to pick some up soon too.

 

How do you even order **** like that from Shine? all i see on the website is body kit stuff and rear diffuser. No fenders from what i see..

 

how do we get in touch with jtp for the modified knuckles? and do they sell a kit where we can do our own welding? thanks

 

my problem isnt with fenders but with inner fenders, frame.. i hit that long before i ever reach lock.

 

if you go to the vendor section (here on RX7club) shine has a personal section, and in it are the threads of all their products, with photos, and feedback on here.

as far as the welding goes, you'd need a jig. i doubt he'd sell them in pieces (considering you understand how theyre made) due to it being a liability. pricing is worth the end result.


people have issues with fender rub when the car is retarded low, and not alot of camber is used... like my car w/o camber plates... couldnt avoid it unless i pulled them.
if you're hitting frame rail you need lower offset wheels, or spacers and at that point you will most likely need wide fenders. my car only had issues with the wheel hitting in front of the coil (right wheel rubbing @full-lock turned left or vise versa) they never hit behind the coil.

shine fenders, and JTP spindles, and then turning issues are solved. you'll have plenty of angle, plus look sick.

 

Minor thread jack:
I'm running a similar setup of 17x8 +35. Was probably gonna space them out to about +20/+25, think it'll work?

Also, DDing with modded knuckles. Nay or yay?

 

my car was a street car dragging BN, and having bumpers fall off up until FD vegas when i got pulled over and was over it... insurance came up, smog, and re-registration... didnt want to bother with it.

knuckles only increase turning angle... u-turns will be unnnnnrrreeeaalll!!!!

seriously though, they are fine. just so long as theyre quality...

as far as spacings go, dont ask me. i dont know much about that. the only way to find out is to do it, and then re-evaluate.

 

ill have to space my wheels out then.. i have -6 offset 8"ers now and wide fenders but it hits way way too soon i think. time to go deep in to the -20s.

 

Alright, I wasn't sure how it would be on the highway.

And you mean you don't pop the clutch for u-turns.

 

see, you understand what i'm saying!! haha you can flip to lock, and not spinout!

illegal uturns onto 1 lane roads? no problem, just clutch it! haha

 

on the highway they feel bomb. the only thing that is noticeable is the car reacts faster to steering input, and honestly, i think you only can notice when you do tierod spacers/ends.

its not crazy or else we wouldnt have them... just makes the car feel more controllable with less steering input required. some cant even notice the difference.

i've done countless 140mph pulls and nothing feels weird (minus me not having sway bars)

 

who needs the rear sway bar? mine feels soo much better without em

 

Right-on. Looks like I know what I'm saving for.

 

you can go to Justin website for the knuckles. they're 350 with your old ones as a core charge, 400 if you don't give him your old ones.

i already rub in the inner fender well. i know that'll be solved with a nicer offset rim. i just wasn't sure about the actual fenders.

 

Problem I have is the tire will rub and bend out the inner lip of my fender at lock some times. I was wondering if my suspension was too soft. Any other way to fix it? I've tried rolling up them up but they still get snagged.

 

get a set of wide, low offset wheels... and wide body.

looks siiiiick

 

like buckey posted... you can pm me here or one of the other contact methods...

i don't sell a kit... everything is made in house by me.. that's just how it goes..

as for fenders, it's possible to run stock fender, but it'll need some major work to make it happen... we have a shop car running stock fenders with some poke, but it works..

 

that black fc that was killin it at the All Star Car Battle in Phx had stock fenders and was pokin TE's

Did that dudes car have JTP spindles???

 

yes i agree that it looks sick but i want function before beauty. as it sits i run out of angle very quickly and have to hold back while drifting. i don't wanna hold back anymore, i just wanna go ***** to the wall with wicked angle lol. in short, i want some JTP knuckles.

i have a 50MM widebody sitting in my garage that a friend said i could have for a later to be determined price but then i'd need to buy wheels which is easily over 1G, because if i'm gonna spend money on another set of 17's i'm getting RPF1s. i was thinking about running steel rock crawler wheels with 15x8's up front and the same or 15x10's in the rear but they're sooo heavy.

 

Fenders, spacers, call it a day lol.

 

^super helpful and will find the best setup for you. Thanks again!

 

yeah that was the car i was referring to. sorry to correct, but they were advan model 7's.. but yeah.. 17x10-22 stock fender with Hot Line spindles (formerly JTP spindles.. lol)

np bro, that's what we're here for.
