Loads of steering angle. U can adjust caster toe camber alot. Its pretty noisy and clunky
Though. Good news no more 3 point turns lol. Its a pain in the *** to install and adjust where it needs to be tbough but well worth it.

I adjusted it a bit more last night. -5 degrees of camber -10 0f caster and raised car1/4 of an inch. Wayyyy better. Its got a little over 60 degrees of angle now so yah well worth it. Its not too noisy but u do hear it but thats to be expected. Its a.drift car u are going to sacrifice quiet stock ride comfort when modifying your arms like this. Well worth it. If your drifting u need an awesome lsd. Then this steering angle kit. All u really need in my opinon

I have 41 degrees of steering angle without the SAK so far, and I'm pretty sure I can get around 50 degrees without it as well. I've heard horror stories of them breaking, so I haven't jumped on getting it yet.

yeah that's what scares me the most... i was looking at the KIT and it looks like once i have the SAK installed i'll be using the Z just for drift events nothing more...

I daily drive mine all the time. No problem. The way I see it, if it's good enough for competition, it's good enough for the street. But I don't really care either way so whatever.
