Word up! I am sending my knuckles off as we speak! But i have a question. I know this might sound dumb but will shorter knuckles with spacers and additional steering kits (i.e: stance Super angle kit) work in terms of gaining more angle?

I know the spacer Will make it not hit the sway and its to my understanding the stance super angle kit the outer tie rods are shorter than stock? Can anyone confirm or post there setups? Thanks!

HeThe Stance tie rod ends with the knuckles will hel in more angle. Really they will help with bringing your tierods back to a proper angle to counter bumpsteer.

Haha sry what? They will or they wont? Im kinda dumb with this stuff. I was thinking since we are taking away from the knuckles with the spacer and tierod will it just got back to stock angle. You know what i mean? Idk im just getting antsy because im literly about to buy the stance angle kit online before i go to bed once i find my answer lol

Yes they will work. Once you've gotten the knuckles and tie rod ends, I would have someone weld on a new bumpstop.

Yes they will work,

I am running the Battle version knuckles, Super now Super cutter kit and a URAS tie rod spacers, I have a set of Uras tie rods on order as well so that will be the maximum amount of angle for me.

Had my buddy cut and start to weld my knuckles today

tomorrow he's adding a plate on top and bottom to reinforce it, very good fabricator. Been going to him for all of my fab needs and have never had a bad experience or anything break! I was going to ship them out to Alex, but I didn't want to wait on the shipping time to Cali and back as I need to move the car soon. I get them back tomorrow and I should have them installed this weekend. I'll post more pics then

This is with a 17x10 +20 rim with a 25mm spacer

still need to get some aftermarket tie rod ends with a spacer to get a little more angle, at this height I have absolutely no rubbing issues, the wheel clears perfect, I don't know how the stock tubs will do when I lower it where I want it but I will have more pics when I get there. Lots more angle, definitely happy and they're reinforced with a 1/8" steel plate on top and bottom, should hold up really nice

I had 1" removed and its perfect, I'll try and post another pic later on to show the clearance, but i wouldn't go more than 1" it barely clears the sway bar link

I'm running battle version parts on my car and I actually have a resell account with Alex. I called him regarding the knuckles for my ls1 sc and he said is starting to get away from modding the knuckles and actually referred my over to PSM. Alex is a super cool guy and his products are TOP NOTCH and fit perfect. I just got off the phone with Dave at Psm, another super cool guy. I will be sending my knuckles to PSM because Alex sent me there. Whoever was trying to stir ***** up about the two shops needs to not do that as both shops speak highly of one another
