    I haven't ordered these yet as they are ?600 and will have to come from Australia, as will the ?260 worth of adjustable lower control arms. I'll hopefully be ordering them in the coming months tho.

    My other option for geometry correction is a modified front subframe like the one pictured here...





    It has adjustable location points for the rack and solid mounted, as well as 2 pick up points for the lower control arm, with 20mm difference between the two. This would help with the LCA angle but does nothing for bump steer. At ?315 the drop knuckles seem the better option at this point.

    So that's where I am at, just wanted to give an update

    On a side note, I am so glad I got the chassis painted before the move. As the new garage is not integral, it gets super cold and anything bare metal and uncoated has got covered in surface rust these last few months.

    Thanks gents.

    Hoping to get some feedback/info from you more knowledgable chaps! Here's is the research article for the knuckles I'm looking to get - https://blog.gktech.com/blog/gktech-...drop-knuckles/

    They offer 3 types of knuckles as shown in my previous posts. I definitely won't be going for the pro-drift version but I'm not sure whether to go for the grip or go for the drift/grip middle version - any thoughts??

    I'm disappointed it's still going, should be finished.

    I can barely get in the garage to work on it at the mo. Would like to be back at it soon with the nights getting longer, as not having electrics in the garage currently is also a pain!
