who makes/mods SC/supra front DROP knuckles/spindles?
howdy boys and girls.
ive done a little searching on here for DROP spindles, as well as some google searching for "sc300 drop knuckles, sc300 drop spindles, supra drop spindles, supra drop knuckles"
havent come up with much. found a thread here talkn bout wisefabs set up but that is way out of my budget.
most drop spindles give at least an inch of drop while maintaining stock suspension geometry.
and if its a 'drift' associated shop theyll also have made the spindles so that they allow more angle, as well. (DISCLAIMER: i know the different things i can do to gain angle, im mainly looking for drop)
parts shop max finally got their shipment for forged S14 knuckles (which include drop)
so when i eventually go to pick them up ill be asking Dan if they can mod my knuckles to add drop (already know they can mod for angle.)
buuut i just wanted to see if there are any already on the market, i prefer forged/made over modded but if forged are too high or if they dont exist ill go modded, provided i can find someone that does it.
car is a 97 sc300. just for cruising. no drifting or visiting the track. stock everything for now,
will be building a set of coilovers (possibly QA1) in the future once i get done with my homework.

got off the phone today with Dave at parts shop max.
initially he told me that they do mod SC knuckles and that its about 250,
but to call him later after he talk to one of the other guys.
called him later and as it turns out, they cant mod the knuckles for drop (roll center,)
they can only do angle mods. boo.

thanks for the quick response! those arms are super nice i was looking at them, a bit hard to justify, but im sure worth every dollar.
do you guys modify the knuckles though? i'll gladly ship them to someone who can stand behind their work and shorten them so they work with the stock control arms and don't run the wheels into them... (maybe you guys have a jig set up for it so the guess work is done by you already) something like this i dont want to have a backyard mechanic do.

that knuckle in that pic doesnt even resemble a stock one anymore
do you guys modify the stock ones or build your own? is it listed on your website already as far as price and availability?
im just a road course/autox guy who wants better steering angle and a bit more response, not looking for crazy angles, just trying to avoid embarrasing 3 point u turns in even the wide pits!
cheers
