Im setting my car up for drift, hopefully it'll be ready by next spring but my question is how can i modify my front control arms, steering rack & spindles so i can get a shit load of turn in?

there should be sum bushing stops in the rack u can pull. and it would help to shorten the spindle steering arm. and go with a 96 or 99 spindal it moves the wheels out so the wheels wont hit the control arm or the rack so soon. and notch the control arm as well. most of that we can do here except weld the spindal lol. i heard we could but if u wana test it be my guest lol. theres a process that has to happen and seriously i never done it.im setting one up to . so nxet season i might c u. and the ride has to be really stiff, where gona make a dual piston caliper braket for a hand brake as well.

1) how do i get to the stops on the steering rack, under the boots?
2) is it safe to notch the fca's?

I would box the control arms if you are going to notch them. You can also go with a tubular A arm which should gain you some clearance.

In stead of notching them. See if you can fold the metal lip up too. This way you aren't taking any material away to create a stressed area... and box them.

if there notched, boxing is mandatory, on the control arms. and under the boots is where the stops are.

Cool, i think i'll get some stock fca's hacked up before goin to tubular ones, i'd hate to hack up some MM fca's

I also will be runnin 17x8 up front with a spacer (1/4"-3/8")

even the tube ones would have to be notched or redone, so for sure
