Corvette C7 Mega Mantis Angle kit

$2,741.60

The Mantis Kit for the Corvette C7 is the most relevant angle kit in today's drift society, and here's why:

-Angle, 65+ degrees depending on your wheel setup and length of control arms

-Tie-rods, Outer tie-rods included, these fasten to the stock inner tie-rods

-Ackerman, adjustable Ackerman options from Positive - zero - negative

-Roll Center, optimized handling by adding 25mm of roll center correction allowing for a longer shock/spring if required

-Bump steer, perfected bump steer for drifting

-Caster, modifications made to the displaced caster amount giving a good self-steer feel for the driver and maximizing the performance for drifting

-Camber, optimized camber ranging from -3 to -6

-Track Width, 25-75mm wider per side creating a stable and high clearance front end

-Suspension Travel, long travel range, full lock to full lock at any point throughout suspension travel for increased grip

-Joints, Chromoly Heim joints, and spherical bearings with self-lubricating nylon race, easily replaceable

-Weight Reduction, compact drop knuckle design makes for a lightweight and strong design, 7075 aluminum used where possible which provides steel-like strength at 40% weight reduction.

Achieve Unparalleled Drifting Performance

Introducing the FDF Pro Kit, the pinnacle of engineering for the C6 Corvette's front suspension. Designed with the demands of professional drifting in mind, this kit delivers unrivaled steering angles and precision control, thanks to its innovative rack relocation. The Pro Kit's debut on Josiah's C6 Corvette led to a spectacular victory, winning both the first competitive event and the high-roller series championship on its first outing.

Features and Components:

Steering Angle: Up to 72 degrees of lead and trail wheel angle, made possible only by our rack relocation design.

Self-Steering Dynamics: Tailored for lightning-fast transitions and effortless control, this kit endows your Corvette with the quickest self-steer capabilities Josiah has ever experienced, especially when combined with the rear grip kit also being run on Josiahs Corvette.

Optimized Grip: The speed of a drift is determined by how well the front can guide the rear. To do this, you need grip. This is a combination of perfecting the camber gain, the KPI, caster and contact patch of the tire while at high angle. It has been perfected to allow for a speed advantage without understeering and showed this well during trials and competition.

Adjustable Ackerman: The ackerman is tunable thanks to the precision Billet knuckle and shim design. Josiah’s setup with zero ackerman and a slight static toe exemplifies perfect control and steering response.

Minimized Bump Steer: The Pro Kit has been optimized at angle, to have minimal bump steer and maintain control no matter the terrain, the kit comes with specially machined spacers that go on the steering rack, to extend the racks ram. This part is included with the kit

Extended Travel Range: The kit supports 2 inches more travel than stock suspensions design, demanding a minimum spring rate of 18k with sway bars or 22k without, due to the modified motion ratio.

Steering Rack Conversion: The Steering rack has been changed to now use an E46 steering rack. On Josiah's car he uses the silver/grey tag rack. The racks location uses a unique bracket that fixates it in to the factory leaf spring Pocket of the subframe, mounting it here has relocated the steering rack 4.75” back and 5.5” down. A dramatic move but a very necessary one as the factory C6 racks are infront of the engines crank pulley. The factory rack is compromised at high angle and will often result in wrecking the racks seals within a year of competitive driving. This kit resolves this problem by aligning the forces and keeping them linear with the steering rack. The steering rack relocation comes with a rack adaptor to connect it to the factory steering column. The only modification required is the the left side header will need to be custom made or modified to clear the new steer wheel shaft location. Keep this in mind when considering this angle kit. The subframe will also need a couple of spots ground for the E46 power steering lines and rack fitment (this is minor modifications)

Premium Articulation Joints: We use Chromoly heim joints and spherical bearings with self-lubricating nylon races for durability and ease of maintenance.

Weight-Optimized Design: Crafted from Aerospace grade aluminum, our compact drop knuckle design reduces weight without compromising strength.

Please Note: Installation requires minor modifications to the subframe and potentially to the left side header to accommodate the new steering wheel shaft location.

- A normal coilover will contact the upper control arm where the spring passes through the arm. This kit has been tested with both BC racing and Feal coilovers, these 2 coilovers work when installed inverted (with the spring at the bottom of the coilover instead of the top). The upper control arm is designed this way to maximize steering angle and it is necessary.

- The OEM steering shaft fire wall boot must be removed, and the fire wall needs a slight notch in it. The reason is the bmw steering rack is narrower, and the steering shaft angle increases towards the center of the car.

- The bmw steering rack also requires the factory steering rack gwebo. We have machined an adapter to connect to the e46 gwebo. The gwebo comea with a rubber dampener installed, this can be run as is, or the rubber damper can be drilled out, and the 2 halves of the qwebo bolted together.

Detailed assembly instructions and a comprehensive guide are provided in a PDF below. For a front suspension that sets you apart on the drift circuit, look no further than the FDF Pro Kit.

BMW E46 MANTIS ANGLE KIT

$1,844.12

Mega Mantis Angle Kit for BMW E46

Adjustability: Our innovative lower control arm/lollipop design introduces on-car fine-tuning for caster, a unique feature not found in other kits.

Strength: Crafted using the strongest alloy steels available, the Mega Mantis Kit is engineered to thrive under intense racing conditions

-Angle, 70 degrees depending on your steering rack setup

-Ackerman, adjustable Ackerman

-Roll Center, optimized handling by adding 40mm of roll center correction

-Bump steer, minimal bump steer in drift by perfecting tie-rod pickup location

-Caster, displaced caster built into the knuckle for optimal alignment force

-Camber, optimized camber ranging from adjustable from -3 to -6

-Track Width, 50-75mm wider per side creating a stable and high clearance front end (Recommend front over fenders)

-Suspension Travel, long travel range, full lock to full lock at any point throughout suspension travel for increased grip

-Joints, Chromoly heim joints, and spherical bearings with self-lubricating nylon race, easily replaceable

-Weight Reduction, compact knuckle design makes for a lightweight and strong design, scissor frame constructed alloy steel arms, 7075 aluminum used where possible

-E46 Mild: 26mm wider than stock for a more mild track width well maintaining high clearance for the added angle the kit provides

E46 Mega: 53mm wider per side creating a stable and high clearance front end with a full adjustable tie rods set up

E36 knuckles on the E46 option benefits! - the E36 knuckle is far superior to the E46 knuckle because- it is a strong mounting design, it is a lighter wight mounting design, it is a simpler mounting design, it is a cheaper knuckle to build, it allows for a longer shock (50mm longer for more stroke) it allows for camber to be adjusted at the knuckle AND the top of the coilover, and it bolts right up to the e46 chassis as long as you have e36 front coilovers. this is what every pro driver with an E46 runs including our drivers such as Adam LZ, Dylan Hughes, and Jonathan hurst all seen in PRO FD.
