Default 370Z Drift Project + angle + stability + control

This is how I got more angle and for my purpose it has worked well.

I cut the bump stop off



If you do the same you should consider painting the metal because it will start to have surface rust fairly quick.



This is what I used to make the inner tie rod spacer. This matches the inner tie rod perfectly and goes into the rack.




I cut 6 MM for each ring.

Clean your inner tie rod and add loctite





If you use the factory 19 inch wheel w/ 225 tire up front the wheel will hit the lower control arm. Yes there is an easy solution.



To solve this you can run a spacer up front OR get a narrower wheel. I have tried many wheels and the one I am happy with is the 18x8 factory 2009 370z front wheels with 245/40/18 tire and it currently does not rub the arm.

MAD ANGLE (as compared to stock)



When the suspension and bushing load up there will be even more angle.

On this ANGLE topic, the 370z has A LOT of Ackerman angle for drifting and scrubs speed fairly quick at large lock angle.
