Yes. they where measured and cut to my specs. The mounting point has been moved in. I took into account ackerman angle / added bumpsteer and other ill effects it may have due to the new mounting point. The process of welding was very simple. We used stick welding due to the penetration capabilities. The guys that weld these for me have over 30+ years in the welding business. After quality control and some good'ole track time next month, i plan to offer these to anyone that is interested.
Well, these are made strickly for track use only. I do plan to keep this car some what streetable, but the more I look at it...its turning into a track car. People have been modifying spindles for a while in japan....From what others have said is that modded knuckles can make the car twitchy for daily driving, but awesome time on track!!!! Im sure an engineer would pick these apart from a geometry/function stand point, but they will hopefully perform on track like I expect. Good'ole backyard puerto rican engineering FTW....lol

Interesting. I've read and seen some stuff on modding spindles but have never tried it, or driven a car with such spindle. I would be very interested in giving it a whirl around a parking lot just to see how much different they feel. I'm sure for daily use it would be quite twitchy... smaller inputs make more dramatic outputs. Seems like for drifting it would be nice to gain that much more angle.

when we made modified spindles for the evo. we used the same concept except we also made out own outter tierods with heim joint ends. steering responce is awesome in that thing. almost too awesome
