I've shaved some of the lower control arms for more angle...it will be enough until an angle kit is made for the 370z. (I have a set of narrower wheels for the front to test)
Been developing this car with the help of 2 FD drivers.

Yeah our courses are pretty bumpy :P

So now Im curious to know who is helping you haha. 370z drivers like Forsberg and Castro? Im going to still see if I can get some adapters made, Ive just been focusing on buying a house lately and possibly selling the Z.

^^NOOOOOOOO!!!!!

guess you gotta do what you gotta do though. Im subbing this thread. Anyone have any recommendation on coilover settings. I have stance GR+ and I am trying to dial them in for AUTOX... im guessing the same setup for drift would apply with maybe a little more neg camber up front. Maybe an alignment printout or something? thanks!

Yea Chris has been really helpful and Miro has been super with helping me understand drift setup / driving and balancing things out.

Adapters won't solve the bigger picture since the lower control arms are in the way,+ the caster is not very much stock (need arms to adjust) and the Ackerman angle is def not for drifting on this car. The Angle kit that Chris is working on takes care of all these issues as far as angle, caster,camber,ackerman, and controlling bump steer is concerned.

ABS is a problem ... and working on pulling it out.
