C5/C6 angle kit solutions that are affordable and have the perfect Ackerman
Re-drilled knuckles have too much positive Ackerman, there is no option to correct this as the hole can only be drilled where there is enough material, and other adaptors available have too much negative Ackerman because they only fit in one location on the C5/C6 knuckle. Currently nothing available for C7 other than drilled
This design has 2 tierod location options, the first is a moderate increase in angle for those with OEM arms (measured at 50 degrees of lock) and the second position is for a full 70 degrees of lock, that can be used with aftermarket arms of any brand
The brackets are made from high-strength, Alloy steel and 7075 aluminum. making them a lightweight and robust design.Â
Please allow 2 weeks before for build/ship time until we have them in stock.Â
For the options, select the control arms that you are using. this will determine what length tierod bodies we need to includeÂ
