how do you increase steering angle?

[driftingmustang]

how do you increase the steering angle that your wheels can turn since sn95 mustangs (94-04) are so piss poor?

[SRT Handz]

03/04 Cobra A-Arms.... I did them and you can ACTUALLY do U-Turns after.... they improve the turning circle approximately 10% on 1994-98 Mustangs. Plus you get 50% stiffer rear bushings and low friction ball joints.

i would recommend this mod to ANYONE not going with coilovers

thanks, but i already did that and i need even more angle, lol.

Sorry, i can no more ideas.... the Steering is being limited by the Wheel hitting the Control Arm.

Just learn to drive better with what you got :dunno:

You only can go with a tubular setup from there, but the increase in turning radius is minimal at best.

damn, so does that mean the wider my rims the less turning angle i have????

[cntchds]

Only if you aren't getting the steering wheel to the lock. If you can make it all the way to the lock then you shouldn't be hitting anything. I need to do that sometime. I hate how horrible the turn radius is on my car. I have to do a multiple point turn almost every time I do a U-turn. :wall:

Why exactly do you need so much steering angle anyway?

+1

I just learned and adapted to the Mustangs Turning Radius

Other than doing a U-turn or other very slow-speed maneuver, there is no need to go full lock on a Mustang's steering.

my name is driftingmustang for a reason, lol.

theres a couple times drifting that i am damn sure i could have gotten more angle and sustained it without spinning out if my steering had more angle. instead i spin out(not like i was the only one though, the 240sx i was up against spun out too, lol)

True, but being so horrible with directions U-turns are pretty familiar. :) It would just be easier, and less embarrassing to be able to do a U-turn in one foul swoop. :P

just floor it and let the over steer tdo the rest :thumb:

[Paul]

If you're full-lock, then you're doing something wrong.

[SRT Handz]

Full Lock while Drifting?!?!? Yeah Right. Even when you are fully sideways in Countersteer mode there is no way you are going full lock

i have full locked many a time to switch directions quikly mid drift. (drift right then be drifting left, uber fun). hell, ive once got some sick ass angle round a turn full lock.

yes, in drifting, you will somtimes find your self at full lock, especially with such piss poor turning angle

I demand video of you and your drifting skills. Otherwise, I call BS.

Hey, DriftingMustang

Check out the board over at the www.drift50.com. Those guys built a daily driven fox that they adopted for drifting.

thats badass

[SRT Handz]

I am calling BS on the Locking Wheel Drifting Because i was just out tonight trying to Get sideways and Lock my steering.... I was SIDEWAYS and still had lots of turning

[driftingmustang]

srry, dont have any vids. ill be going to the track (and stop the street crap) this summer so youll see those vids. that i promise.

by the way, im not that skilled yet. still a complete noob. but i have been at points where i have fully locked the wheel (once or twice making it) but 90% of the time i wind up spinning out.

[SRT Handz]

Watch "The Drift Bible"... it will help you :hammer:

already have........well, the first 10 minutes atleast. should sit down and watch the whole thing some time i suppose.

Pssss, And you call yourself a "Drifter" :nonono: :nonono: :nonono:

[driftingmustang]

lol

[realitygt]

I think if you fixed the MASSIVE mustang oversteer you could turn better too lol

[Whitepony]

lol i have steering stoppers, so i can run 275's on front w/o any rubbing........if you do this forget about u turns and tight parking.

[g_dogg]

i have cobra a arms with 17x9 rims.
i can turn the steering wheel all the way.
i heard with wider rims up front you will grind
on the a-arm when you turn.
Also heard the same is true if you have 18's.
Anyone experience this??

[Willis_98GT]

i have lovely drift sessions with my stock FCAs i wish i had some videos though. i have one, but its not much a drift as a powerbrake exhibition

[xsoutherngun89x]

^ i was just about to say that wasnt really driftin, lol. control the slide with the throttle not the brake, but you stated it wasnt really a drift vid. :thumb:

[Willis_98GT]

yes indeed i did. i have done some pretty bad ass ones. i just wish i would have gotten them on film. whenever i get the chance i'll go for it with a cam.

[vermilion]

i feel i need a brake upgrade but pretty cool vid :thumb:
