Hello friends -- figured I'd start a thread as I have a question and looking for any feedback.
Still getting some pad knockback from my brakes that I can't chase down. I've done new wheel bearings at all 4 corners now to try and fix it, and no change. Only have a long pedal when the car is really loaded up in a corner. The only thing that's not 100% right with my setup is that the rear brake calipers are shimmed a touch offset for increased clearance to the spoke. This is a f/r Core4 setup btw.
Local motorsport guy says that spindle flex is a thing he's seen in his 30 years of building racecar things, and when I told him my spindles were cut&weld (courtesy of logr on here from many many years ago) he suggested that that is probably the issue I'm facing.
With that said I'm considering my options (which is awesome that there are so many).
First up is the Gktech drift/grip knuckle. I like this because GKTech has good customer service and I want quicker steering as it's one of my favorite elements of what I have now.
Second up is the FDF Knuckle which uses a 350z wheel bearing -- love this approach. Not sure about the track width dicussion as I have literally no room to give in pushing the wheel out further lol:
Open to whatever feedback or options anyone has.
Thank you!
