These are ready to rock.
$399.00 + your parts + shipping back to you. (price might not last long with costs of everything going up) you get modded knuckles, blasted and painted, and modded FLCAs, also blasted, Gusseted and painted. if you want new bushings or ball joints, just pay for them and ill install them in the FLCAs aswell. Brian W. (owner/fabricator of MA-motorsports) has tested these on his car, as well as Stew Leask (S14 nopi driver) (IMG:http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j123/JDMFresh/DSC_0302.jpg) (IMG:http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j123/JDMFresh/DSC_0288.jpg) (IMG:http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j123/JDMFresh/DSC_0293.jpg) (IMG:http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j123/JDMFresh/DSC_0291.jpg) you can have cores sent to me from salvage yards like others have done also, not a problem. info email Brian(at)ma-motorsports.com ***for these to work you need longer tie rod assemblies ... my recommendation is SPL outters on S14 inners with a (slip on)spacer (tein, MAX, SPL, etc.)*** ***MA can supply the SPL outters and spacers if needed at an additional cost*** You can do sweet no-spin entries like so (brian is trailing): (IMG:http://www.urbanracer.com/gallery/gallery/event_coverage/miscellaneous/east_coast_all-star_bash_englishtown_nj_8-16-08/0005.jpg) |

control arms? No.
They are modified to remove the tie-rod stopper plate that gets in the way. the control arm itself now acts as the stopper. |

the spindle itself is cut, surfaced, and then TIG welded back together on our jig.
The control arm is reinforced by dimple-died gussets and the factory tie-rod stopper is removed. Everything is bead blasted and painted. |

i'm pretty sure that a can of spray paint won't be too hard.
OH YEAH PEOPLE! These "S14" knuckles work on S13s, if you have S14 front knuckles for 5-lug stuff on your S13 it will work. straight-up S13 stuff is in the development and testing phases |

QUOTE (mattmartindrift @ Aug 21 2008, 12:14 PM)  the spindle itself is cut, surfaced, and then TIG welded back together on our jig. That's what I was looking for. So you shortened the arm that the tie-rod endlink mounts to. So, you are also increasing the quickness of steering inputs, right? |

bingo! Quickness of steering could also be acheived by a $125 "sprint car" steering ratio modifier.

yeah, the jig isn't just going to up and go bad. If there's demand we'll be making them.
They're fabbed on a made-to-order basis. |
