S13 FLCA questions

I ran s13 flcas, slotted coilovers set for maximum negative camber and I barely got past -2.5, so you shouldn't have a problem.

I'm on eBay Flcas now and am at -2.8 camber and 7.7 caster with the knuckle and top hats maxed out for positive camber.

Your problem is there.
Also, the knuckle taper is not the same on S13 and s14 FLCA stud.

TBH the front suspension setup on the S and R chassis are crap. Get rid of it and buy a complete suspension setup kit. TDP is very nice, PBM too. I went cheap with a keisler and i don't regret it either, also i can already hear def pointing how badly they are designed (which is somewhat true, but it still works)

I'm aware of the taper difference with s13/s14 ball joint. I'm working on sourcing the knuckles right now but their almost impossible to find because godspeed is buying them all up to sell with steering angle mod on eBay.

I'd love to buy the abercrombie or wisefab kit (or TDP, the manufacturing on their parts looks top notch), I just can't justify spending $1000 on a suspension kit designed for drifting for a grip car. I've been going back and forth between the PBM and GKTech knuckles, unfortunately gk stopped making the aluminum forged knuckles and only makes sheet metal knuckles now.

I've been keeping a close eye on the roll center thread as well as several other suspension threads over on NRR.

I have been very interested in the bolt on roll center correction kit gktech offers, I'm just not very interested in the +25 track as the car is already going to have increased track with the s14 arms.

Thank you for your response.
