The Front spindles, I'm assumming you cut the tie rod mounting arm off and shortened it and then rewelded correct? What did you use to reweld? I like.
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.

I know they make for crazy angle while drifting, but do they have any ill effects on the car, handling, ect.?
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
