How much Caster are you able to dial in with the KW's? I see it has it's own CC plates that mount under the strut tower.

Just curious as to how much Caster you can dial vs. say... MM CC plates.

Our cars need as much caster as possible and we usually dial as much as physically possible then use offset arms/k-member to dial MOAR. I would think your drift car would benefit from as much as possible, just like any "handling" oriented sn95/fox setup.

OMG I forgot about these things, I found them before I put the car together assuming I'd need flares when I was done. They're tempting, but sort of on the expensive side and I think a bit bigger then I need. I might send them an email....

Will do, shoot me a pm here first and I'll make sure you get a discount!

Thanks man! We're starting a bit of a Mustang drift team here, so I'll make sure to pass on your stuff to them. I know one other guy really wants a Hydro too

As far as I can tell, they're about as adjustable as say a set of BC coilovers, same sort of idea on the top. It's weird though because the top adjustment is caster, and the camber is adjusted at the strut to spindle mount. There's a huge amount of adjustment at the spindle though. Probably on my next day off I'm going to go get the car professionally aligned and then I can have an idea of where my caster's at. I know one of the local guys has a stupid amount of caster, like +15 degrees if I remember that he can't get rid of.

hmmm, interesting... So it appears as not as much adjustability as a dedicated CC plate.

Thanks for the feedback. Car looks like it is coming along!

Got the car drivably aligned today. One of the tires went flat, so getting that patched and then tomorrow is shake down day hopefully. It's supposed to rain.... how perfect. Maybe I'll have to test out the go pro in the rain for the first time.

Probably the only picture I've got this year so far lol. Fuel tank decided it didn't want to hold gas in it, had to run to the dealer, drop the tank at the track and replace the seal on the side of the tank. Then the diff decided to not lock in one direction, so I havn't driven since. However I did get at least one awesome picture so here, have a sideways.

Outside footage!

No pictures so far besides the one, but oh well.


Hell yea loving them new control arms

They're awesome, buddy with a Pro Am spec car wants a set now haha.

Holy tits

Dat angle

I was kind of disappointed once i got it all aligned, but after driving it OMG. I can only imagine how it'll be once I swap to later spindles, even MOAR angles!

I'm really quite thrilled with how it did, after taking so long to save and put it together and stuff, it's so awesome to have something pay off for once.
