Here it is

Saisei Knuckles

In short, he took the stock ones, chopped and shortened them, then welded the two ends back together. Looks like good quality, but the thought of it snapping is scary.

An old timer here did snap an OEM one during a tight curve, car was totaled as a result. Hard for me to shake that thought every time I think about nightlrkr’s knuckle, no matter how much I wanted it.

LOL...I don't know how I missed that thread and to Jar's question that is him. He has sold a number of sets and I have yet to hear any issues granted track session is just getting geared up. I read the whole thread and I follow him on Instagram and from what I see he is legit. He responded to all my questions quickly and in real time.

Lastly, everything we do once we start modifying the car adds a level of risk. Leaving it stock is risky when you are tracking it. Hell ask a manufacture what does off road use mean for a 4x4 truck and they will tell you it is for maintained dirt roads, rain and mud and snow on paved or those maintained dirt roads. Everything we do at the track is about comfort level of the risk we are willing to take.

This was my greatest worry. Putting a cast suspension component through another heat-cycle will make it extremely brittle. He really pushes his car on the track on I’ve yet to hear any bad stories. He’s been testing them for a while before he began to openly sell, so I would assume that he trusts the product enough...
