    Just came across this video on vimeo

    The Ballad of Driftworks on Vimeo

    Just wondered when do you expect these hubs your designing will be available?
    Also, will you be making them for the R33 and what sort of prices will we be looking at?

    They are now tested and ready for production. It's taken a bit longer than we hoped, but we'd rather make sure they are 100% :). Should be available in approx 8-10weeks..

    So, they essentially raise the hub point up, lowering the car, but keeping all the stuff that goes a bit awry when decking a car, straight? Actually baking my noodle trying to work out what a set of those will do to my car if I just throwed them straight on it :wack:

    Sweet! i want some! :D
    Just one thing tho, how much do they lower the car by as my car is already pretty low.
    Would i have to raise my car back up to fit these?

    Correct. Basically. Imagine changing the ride height by about 45mm front and 50mm rear without changing any alignment or suspension strut length.

    Any more benefits except the lowering of the car? Steering angle etc?

    Looking forward to these!

    But Phil, I'm also interested in the steering angle knuckles you mentioned a little while ago? I was going to bring in some Powered by MAX ones until you said you had something in the pipeline?

    I'm going to try and get a set of these for my car, also good for seeing what they are like on a normal spec car instead of a built monster :D lol

    They are going to be amazing, going to be the cool mod of the year thats for sure :D

    massive angle
    removal of bumpsteer
    corrects all retarded suspension set-up
    massive grip / traction
    no more stupid high ride hieghts.

    these are a MUST for any serious competitor and i expect them to sell out within minutes of being released tbh.

    Theres no excuse for not having your car on the floor now. The 'geometry' argument has been blown out of the water.

    Phil, any ideas of even a rough ballpark figure regarding price so I can put my kidney/lung/limb up for sale first?
