MAX Super Steering Angle Kit - Parts & Labor to mod your OEM LCA and Knuckles on S and R chassis Nissans
MAX Super Steering Angle Kit - Parts & Labor to mod your OEM FC RX7 Knuckles
MAX Super Steering Angle Kit - Parts & Labor to mod your OEM FD RX7 Knuckles
**UPDATE**
Through a small position change to our CNC box section We are now getting less ackerman and an unprecedented 52 degrees of bolt on steering angle with no additional modifications!!
We used to only sell the knuckle conversion parts with installation labor due to the large liability of relying upon our customers to do get the job done correctly. However due to overwhelming demand from professional drift shops & fabricators, we are adding another option.
This can be a huge relief of downtime & double shipping costs making the conversion quite a bit more convenient for those who have access to a local professional welding service. We will happily continue to service those who do not have access to professional welding services with the same speed, quality, and reasonable pricing that many have relied upon in the past.
This parts only option is especially helpful to our international customers who would need to spend a considerable amount to get the job done.
The MAX Super angle kit (parts only) is just $250 shipped.

Static angle as measured on our shop guage from center to lock :
MAX Super angle kit = 1.25 turns & 52 degrees
OEM = 1.5 turns and 36 degrees
*max angle at speed is increased
*wheel well clearancing is needed for max angle
*NO CLOWNS! Seriously kids, DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME! These parts are to only be installed by a professional with years of experience in welding and custom auto parts fabrication!
We only work on your parts - The parts you send are the parts we mod and send back therefore you dont have to worry about getting someone elses questionable cores!
This is the third version for the S chassis utilizing all of our testing experience to date.
You will have to modify a 19mm wrench to tighten the crown nut. On the quicker steering hole its not an issue. Send in a wrench with your parts if you would like us to cut it.
After installation.
Drifting Performance: The MAX super angle kit will take your drifting to the next level!
My review from the poweredbymax.net forum:
I had the opportunity to track test these things at Horse thief mile and balcony yesterday. I have to say this is like a whole new world for drifting. They are that good. While it doesn't take any time to get used to the knuckles on the street, It defenately takes at least 1 full day at the track to get confident with the new posibilities that are presented to you by having nearly infinite counter steer. At first I didn't really know what to do when I drifted past an angle I never drifted at before so my first reaction was to lift which made me spin so next I tried to mash the gas when I was in the new angle zone and it worked beautifully. Once I realy got used to it I noticed all kinds of things:
The input on the steering wheel at initiation is refreshingly reduced.
The old heavyness and reduced control at and around full lock is gone.
Its just as easy to countersteer at a maximum angle of attack as any other steering angle.
I have more control over the car when I'm not whipping my hands around the steering wheel like before.
A flick of the wrist pretty much covers most input reqirements on the track.
If you do spin around which is harder to do, the turning radius is so tight that you don't have to grab the e-brake to do a 180 to get going the right direction on a narrow course.
The reduced input actually works both ways so when you let go of the wheel to let it correct, it does not spin as much or as hard as before.
There is more control and precision coming out of a big fast drift on to a straight because you need to slowly unwind the counter steer when you lift the throttle a bit, and the reduced turns of the wheel allow you to do it with more grace.
When coming from a straight throwing the car sideways into turn you can be as aggressive as you want with the angle because the counter steer is there to back you up.
When you do hit the bump stop which is almost impossible now its more of a light tap then a WHAM like before.
Its almost impossible to hit the bumpstop and maintain a drift because when you actually hit the bumpstop now you are at such a ridiculous angle you are looking over your shoulder to see where you are going.
I'm not just creating hype, its really that good. This changes everything. I definitely recommend this part not just for you animal drifters but for beginners too because it just makes everything easier. I think grip racers will like this too.
One more thing, about the two holes, its easier to learn - a more understated change to use the first hole, but if you don't use the second hole you're missing out on the maxumum potential of this modification.

NOW AVAILABLE super angle for Z32 and R33:
The key points that makes the Parts Shop MAX knuckles better is
1 - Our design uses one solid piece of CNC billet steel for the box section
2 - No cutting of the OEM knucke, the structure is left entirely in tact
3 - There are three separate welded connections one on top and two on the bottom of the OEM arm
4 - Designed for eliminating bump steer on super low cars
5 - Two taper hole tie rod end mounts so that you can tune the quickness of your steering for the best feel
6 - Any hacked knuckle can give more angle but the secret to the cars drifting performance is all about the ackerman angle which is why we do such extensive testing to make sure you get the most control and performance by choosing parts shop MAX.

FAQ's
Q: What type of tie rod do I need to use for the super angle kit for nissans?
A: Any tie rod and tie rod end combination, OEM or aftermarket will work just fine, but if you are looking to upgrade we recommend and sell Ikeya Formula s14 inner rods for $120 (which also screw into the reck of S13) , and we recommend (but dont sell)OEM s14 rod ends for their strength and reliability.
Q: I was wondering if the s-chassis super angle kit could be used with aftermarket lower arm, or if it has to be used with the oem arm?
A: Yes the SAK can be used with the aftermarket arms commonly available, but we recommend welding the supplied adjustable bumpstop plate on to the aftermarket arm because they come with pretty weak bumpstops that get bent out of adjustment.
Q: Since I am buying the kit for mt aftermarket LCA's can i get a discount because I wont need the OEM LCA reinforcement?
A: No, it comes a a conplete kit only, you can discard the parts you dont need.
TIE ROD ANGLE SPACERS
They are machined out of steel and coated with gold chrome.
The thickness is 7mm which gives you more angle than the typical 6mm spacers from our competition.
The price is only
*Attention:
You install these spacers on the threads of the tie rod that connect to the steering rack. You will have to redo your front alignment after you put them in. You will still need other suspension components like our new super angle knuckle kit to get more angle than the spacers by themselves can provide.
*Warning!
These will fit stock tie rods but you will be using less threads so use permanent thread lock! Many drifters have done it without experiencing any side effects such as death but install this part at your own risk.
