Default SC drifting knuckle steering mod

A few guys have asked for pictures of the before and after. This mod made on the battleship. Maybe if there's interest I will offer this as a service. I don't know the degree's of difference, but I can tell you it's as far as you can go without steering lockup Also looked at doing a drop mount to minimize bump steer.
(Yes mods I know I would have to become a sponsor)

The car will be begging for tons of angle now. I'm thoroughly impressed. I vote yes in regards to offering this as a service.

Lol...Yeah just for parking I think it would be worth it!

I was thinking $175 including return shipping would be a good price, they would have to be shipped bare though. And I would probably need to do it as an exchange service so people wouldn't have to go without their cars for days.
Anyone who is seriously interested please let me know, and I will see about becoming a sponsor and offering this as a regular service.

At $175 I'd be more than interested.

I am curious as to how you would do it though. We send you the hubs you modifiy them and send them back or we send you the cores and you ship us knucks that are already modified. I have to get new Knuckles this year anyway cause my wheel bearings are shot and its cheaper to pick up a used set than it is to buy new bearings and have them pressed in. lol
