wheels hitting tension rods

[95SILVIA14]

i know some people have had this problem before what are some viable solutions im to the point that im just going to either make my own or make an a arm type lca. now that ive got that out the reason im to this point is i cant get full lock in my coupe without hitting the rod .its acting like a steering stop right now

quit drifting

seriously though are your rims 19's or do you have way too much steering angle?

im running 18x8.5 up front but yea i have way to much steering angle.it maxed out the hunter rack when we tried to measure it.

Im tring to get into more track days and lapping type events.

Less offset, wider fenders to allow less offset, narrower rim with better compound tire.

So run a 10 or 15 mm spacer to bring my offset down to +15 or +10

Yes, less offset on the same width wheel helps, as well as going to a narrower wheel with less or the same positive offset.

Spacers seems like the easiest way but it looks like you've already pulled your stock fenders pretty good so you'd need some 20mm over fenders.

^could use something like this

Or wait for PBMs LCAs to drop.

Yea ive seen those rods in drift tengoku about 2 yrs ago cant find anyone that sells them though.

ive seen the pbm arms but im not counting on them to be released any time soon

The easy solution is spacers.

The harder solution is fabrication.

You can cut the LCA's and extend them like so:





This will increase your negative camber, but you can just take it out with your camber plates, and can probably then rotate them and use them to adjust caster.

Here is the answer to your problems.

not a great deal of leverage for the tension rod...

Why does the tension rod need leverage?
