Modified steering bumpstops to get more angle
So have any of you guys modified your bump stops?
I already have tein inner tie rods with spacers, but I want to push a little more angle out of my rack.
Anyone done it? Just curious how much you've shaven off.

the answer is not in the bumpstops(they come off by the way if i remember correctly)
but anywho, on my Z's ive made a few custom pieces that help dramatically when looking for more steering angle
they will be available to the public soon and i will keep everyone informed

since all tie rods are different, best thing to do is take them out, and cut your wheel all the way. measure how much distance it is from the arm to the steel stopper and cut the remainder off. then after that, if you are getting a lot of bindup from the tie rod over-centering, you can add a washer or two to the stopper in the arm to take some angle out so that your wheel doesnt get stuck at full lock.

its not the bump stops, just take all those parts off.
next problem is going to be the inner tie rods hitting the end of the steering rack when its full lock. you can get smaller inner tie rods that go into the rack to get a lot more angle. also be careful of the offset of the wheels hitting the rear lower control arm up front. J- arm some people call it.
have fun and be safe!!

toe out might work for more angle;
if you set your alignment with a little bit, (and i mean a LITTLE BIT) of toe out, maybe .5 degrees total, you will get a little bit more angle on the front wheel thats got the most weight on it.
Explanation for those who dont know what im talking about;
if you go into a left hand turn to drift, your obviously gonna be turning the wheel to the right, so, the majority of the front weight of the car is on the FR wheel, so if you have toe out, that FR wheel will have more angle, but it will still be stable. Same goes for the opposite direction drift. Its an easy way to get some more noticable angle out of your front end.
Sorry if this was obvious, just throwing it out there...
