Wisefab Nissan S13 Front Lock Kit 2.0 with Rack Relocation
Regular price $1,970.00
Description
There are 2 options:
lock kit with steering rack relocation hardware. Requires OEM front subframe cutting and welding. It moves rack 46mm forward for better Ackemann curve and a bit lower for oil pan clearance. It works all big drift series rules that require OEM subframe usage, but allow modifications for rack relocation.
lock kit with 30mm rack offset spacers. This is an option if front subframe cutting and welding is not possible
More usable steering lock, feel and precise handling especially with rack relocation.
Less sensitive steering. Increased steering ratio for smoother handling.
More suspension travel – less interference risk at full droop. Longstroke coilover kits can be used.
Lighter and stronger. Optimized design in combination with high strength steel is used.
60mm drop for roll center correction.
Adjustable camber and caster with adjustable doubleplates.
Adjustable lock stopper.
Adjustable Ackermann washers included in the kit.
Other components, packaging and clearance.
This kit assumes coilovers to have enough clearance.
Dependent on rim width and ET, wider fenders or fender flares would be needed.
With tire diameter up to 635mm (215/45R17, 225/45R17, 235/40R17, 225/40R18 etc) and lowered ride height the inner wheel wells need to be slightly modified.
Recommended backspacing is 135-140mm (7“ ET45; 8“ ET35; 9“ ET25). If ET is smaller, then wheels stay more outwards, if ET is bigger, then spacers need to be used.

Wisefab Nissan S13 Rear Suspension Kit
Regular price $1,870.00Description
Revised kinematics, not just dropped knuckle.
Dropped knuckles are good to maintain factory kinematics on lowered car, but still factory kinematics is more designed for everyday streetcar. If maximum grip is the keyword and combination of good roll center position, camber gain, antisquat and bumpsteer are required, then dropped knuckle is not good enough. That is the reason why we totally revised the kinematics.
More than 10kg of weight reduction over original components and still maintaining required strength and stiffness
All the metal components on Wisefab S-Chassis knuckle are from high strength steel, including sheet metal components, tubes, tube ends and rod end housings. Good materials with design optimization has lead into major weight reduction. The knuckle weighs ~2,7kg and at the same time can hold 5-6G of loadpeak at tire contact patch on 1100kg car. Also for weight reduction purposes most of the suspension links are designed straight and tubular. All the joints are rod ends or spherical bearings, no rubber bushings.
Other components
Hub to hub length (track) is the same as original, as this is defined by halfshaft lengths. This kit assumes coilovers to adjust ride height.
Minimum rim size is 17“

Wisefab Nissan 350Z Front Lock Kit
Regular price $2,240.00Description
Nissan 350Z Wisefab Lock Kit
- 65 degrees of lock, parallel steering. As an option, there would be a possibility to buy Ackermann adjustment kit. You could tune your steering geometry either towards positive or negative Ackermann in just a few minutes even at trackside without messing up an alignment.
- About the same weight as original aluminum suspension. All the metal components on Wisefab 350Z front suspension are from high strength steel, including sheet metal components, tubes, tube ends and rod end housings. Rod ends and spherical bearings are used, no rubber bushings.
- Lower links are replaced with one arm. 2 lower links would have some benefits for circuit racing, but for drifting with higher steering angle the stiffness and packaging would become an issue. Therefore lower one piece arm is used.
- Higher roll center (RC). Lowering the drift car is a must to increase performance and handling, but this would mess up the original factory designed kinematics. It lowers the roll center and increases camber gain. On Wisefab knuckle, both joints are dropped, which brings the front RC up on lowered car, providing higher roll stiffness and letting to remove the front anti roll bar (sway bar) that is quite difficult to package with that high lock angles.
- Very good camber control and minimal bump steer with high steering angles. On drift cars the dynamic camber and bump steer is much more important than static. With our kinematics we have assured that the camber would provide very good front grip and bump steer is minimal at all the range of steering.
- Steering jacking control. During steering the car chassis is moving up and down – this is called jacking. Steering jacking is caused by combination of caster, KPI, trail and scrub. On road cars, this effect is used sometimes to balance the car or to help to turn in. During drifting, when steering angle is much bigger, jacking is also bigger, even with the same geometry and it could become a problem. We have changed the geometry that it doesn’t cause any handling issues.
- Consistent and predictable self-alignment torque. Caster is not the only important parameter to provide sufficient self-alignment torque especially at high lock. It’s the combination of different parameters to maintain consistent trail and self-alignment torque. With our setup the steering wheel turns always to the direction of movement and doesn’t get stuck at full lock.
- Adjustable spring and shock absorber motion ratio. The shock lower bracket has 3 attachment possibilities, which allows to change suspension stiffness and handling very quickly.
Other components, packaging and clearance.
This kit assumes coilovers to have enough clearance.
Ride height is designed to be ~80mm from front subframe to ground
Dependent on rim width and ET, wider fenders or fender flares would be needed.
Inner wheel wells do not need to be modified with tire diameter up to 635mm (215/45R17, 225/45R17, 235/40R17, 225/40R18 etc). Minimum rim diameter is 17”.
Recommended backspacing is ~135mm (7“ ET45; 8“ ET35; 9“ ET20). If ET is smaller, then wheels stay more outwards, if ET is bigger, then spacers need to be used.
The kit is designed and manufactured the way that after installation and toe adjustment it’s ready to use right away.

Wisefab Nissan 350Z Rear Suspension Kit
Regular price $1,980.00Description
Nissan 350Z rear suspension kit to provide maximum grip on lowered car
- Revised kinematics, not just dropped knuckle.
Nissan 350Z is a well designed car for enthusiast driver. The car performs well on streets and can be taken to a race track. If the focus is more towards performance, then the car can act even better with lowered ride height, but then the factory designed kinematics wouldn’t work as it supposed to. The Wisefab kit would give a good kinematics with lowered car - higher roll center, lowered antisquat, revised cambergain and bumpsteer for maximum grip. The top arm front pickup point is raised by 40mm for better antisquat. This correlates with all the known championship regulations. For lower grip and wet conditions the original pickup point can be used as well. Changing the pickup point location would not change any other alignment settings, so it is possible to do at the track side.
- About the same weight as original aluminum suspension
All the metal components on Wisefab 350Z rear suspension are from high strength steel, including sheet metal components, tubes, tube ends and rod end housings. Also for weight reduction and stiffness purposes all the suspension links are designed straight and tubular. Top arm is sheet metal boxed type. Rod ends and spherical bearings used, no rubber bushings.
- Easy camber adjustment
Special teethed washer is used for adjustment
- Bump steer adjustment
Possibility to adjust bump steer by changing rod end location in a slot.
- Other components
Hub to hub length (track) is the same as original, as this is defined by halfshaft lengths. This kit assumes coilovers to adjust ride height and use spring around the shock not on rear link Possibility to use Nissan S-Chassis hub with bigger CV joint. Minimum rim size is 17“

Wisefab Nissan GTR R35 Front Track Kit
Regular price $7,150.00
Description
R35 is a great performance car, but still ride height designed for street use and go over speed bumps without bottoming. Lowering the car would give more grip and better handling, but then the factory designed kinematics wouldn’t work as it supposed to. If kinematics is out of range, then it decreases mechanical grip and also influences aerodynamical grip as kinematics supports less roll, squat and pitch. The kit would bring the RC, anti-squat, bump steer and camber curve into good range, providing better roll stiffness, better handling and grip on lowered car.
Dual kinematics setup. Uprights have points for lowered ride height with standard 710mm (28“) diameter wheels and second set of points for either small wheels with lowered ride height that are required at some series or for standard wheel with standard ride height.
Adjustable front motion ratio. Motion ratio can be changed by changing shock position on arm.It can be done quickly and has the effect as changing springrate. So understeer/oversteer can be changed in a few minutes
CrMo rod ends and sphericals used instead of rubber bushings
Quicker steering ratio.
Steering ratio is slightly quicker compare to original
Easy camber, caster adjustments
7075-T6 aluminum billet CNC knuckles with optimized design provide low weight and high strength.
The standard 20“ or 18“ racing wheel can be used.
R35 CV joints are good to handle big power, but for any case if power and grip exceed their limits, then the uprights have room for bigger CV joint if needed.
Other components, packaging and clearance.
This kit assumes coilovers.
Original wheel speed sensor can be used.

Wisefab Mazda RX8 Front Lock Kit
Regular price $2,075.00
Description
Original steering rack at original position can be used if needed, but as many builds have more rotor sections, or I6, V8 swaps, then rack needs to be lowered. Wisefab kit comes with parts to fit BMW E36 or E46 rack to subframe. The knuckle has 2 positions for tie rod attachment: for original rack position and lowered position. For lowered position it has also some adjustability for a case someone has already lowered a rack and it doesn’t match with Wisefab designed height. The kit comes also with new 7075 aluminum billet U-joint to connect Mazda steering column to BMW rack. By default the kit has left hand drive steering rack attachment. Let the dealer know if you want it for right hand drive car. Then rack attachment parts will be replaced in the kit.
65 degrees of lock, parallel steering. As an option, there is a possibility to buy Ackermann adjustment kit. You can tune your steering geometry either towards positive or negative Ackermann in just a few minutes even at trackside without messing up an alignment.
Adjustable lock stopper.
All the steel components on Wisefab RX8 Front suspension are from high strength steel, including sheet metal components, tubes, tube ends and rod end housings. Rod ends and spherical bearings are used, no rubber bushings.
Higher roll center (RC). RX8 has a double A-arm Front and multilink Rear suspension, which is a very good starting point for a race car. Lowering the car would increase performance and handling, but this would mess up the original factory designed kinematics. It lowers the roll center and increases camber gain. On Wisefab knuckle, both joints are dropped, which brings the Front RC up on lowered car, providing higher roll stiffness, good camber control and minimal bump steer with high steering angles.

Wisefab BMW E30 FD Legal Front Lock Kit Extra Light Arms
Regular price $1,230.00Description
- Over 60 degrees of lock. The most important parameter that everybody is speaking in drifting is lock – we have it! While providing over 60 degrees of lock, this kit is engineered and tested to optimize also a lot of other parameters that make the difference in handling and performance.
- Higher roll center (RC). Lowering the car would mess up the original factory designed kinematics, especially with MacPherson suspension. This kit brings the front RC up on lowered car, providing higher roll stiffness and letting to remove the front anti roll bar (swaybar) that would be quite difficult to package with that high lock angles.
- Revised steering geometry (Ackerman). Factory designed steering geometry is engineered the way that all the wheels are rotating around certain corner center, which means that during normal driving the inside wheel is steering much more than outside wheel. During drifting the corner center compare to the car position is not where factory engineers were assuming it to be and front following wheel would create a massive drag that wears out the front tires and forces the car to spin. For that reason the front wheels need to steer more equally for drifting application. There isn’t any clear answer how much Ackermann or Anti-Ackermann there should be, but during testing we have found the optimal result that has a good performance and drivers with different style would like the handling.
- Good camber control with high steering angles. With high steering angles the leading wheel will have a positive camber, which is not a positive effect. It reduces the front grip and during turn or flip it creates a contact patch transition from inside edge to outside edge. Camber change during steering is caused by combination of caster and KPI. It is not possible to eliminate it, but with our geometry it has decreased as much as possible.
- Steering jacking control. During steering the car chassis is moving up and down – this is called jacking. Steering jacking is caused by combination of caster, KPI, trail and scrub. On road cars, this effect is used sometimes to balance the car or to help to turn in. During drifting, when steering angle is much bigger, jacking is also bigger, even with the same geometry and it could become a problem. We have monitored it and changed the geometry that it doesn’t cause any handling issues.
- Predictable self-alignment torque. With certain suspension geometry at high steering angles it could happen that the steering wheel is locking up at the end and driver needs to apply some force to flip it to other side. It is annoying and risky, especially at high speed. We know what causes it and have decreased it to minimum, if not eliminated it.
- Other components, packaging and clearance. This kit assumes coilovers to have enough clearance. We recommend tire diameter not bigger than 620mm (235/40 R17). Wider fenders or fender flares needed with this kit.
Kit includes:
- Coilover upper mounts
- Hub Add-ons

Wisefab BMW E46 FD Legal Front Lock Kit Extra Light Arms
Regular price $1,230.00Description
- Over 60 degrees of lock. The most important parameter that everybody is speaking in drifting is lock – we have it! While providing over 60 degrees of lock, this kit is engineered and tested to optimize also a lot of other parameters that make the difference in handling and performance.
- Higher roll center (RC). Lowering the car would mess up the original factory designed kinematics, especially with MacPherson suspension. This kit brings the front RC up on lowered car, providing higher roll stiffness and letting to remove the front anti roll bar (swaybar) that would be quite difficult to package with that high lock angles.
- Revised steering geometry (Ackerman). Factory designed steering geometry is engineered the way that all the wheels are rotating around certain corner center, which means that during normal driving the inside wheel is steering much more than outside wheel. During drifting the corner center compare to the car position is not where factory engineers were assuming it to be and front following wheel would create a massive drag that wears out the front tires and forces the car to spin. For that reason the front wheels need to steer more equally for drifting application. There isn’t any clear answer how much Ackermann or Anti-Ackermann there should be, but during testing we have found the optimal result that has a good performance and drivers with different style would like the handling.
- Good camber control with high steering angles. With high steering angles the leading wheel will have a positive camber, which is not a positive effect. It reduces the front grip and during turn or flip it creates a contact patch transition from inside edge to outside edge. Camber change during steering is caused by combination of caster and KPI. It is not possible to eliminate it, but with our geometry it has decreased as much as possible.
- Steering jacking control. During steering the car chassis is moving up and down – this is called jacking. Steering jacking is caused by combination of caster, KPI, trail and scrub. On road cars, this effect is used sometimes to balance the car or to help to turn in. During drifting, when steering angle is much bigger, jacking is also bigger, even with the same geometry and it could become a problem. We have monitored it and changed the geometry that it doesn’t cause any handling issues.
- Predictable self-alignment torque. With certain suspension geometry at high steering angles it could happen that the steering wheel is locking up at the end and driver needs to apply some force to flip it to other side. It is annoying and risky, especially at high speed. We know what causes it and have decreased it to minimum, if not eliminated it.
- Other components, packaging and clearance. This kit assumes coilovers to have enough clearance. We recommend tire diameter not bigger than 620mm (235/40 R17). Wider fenders or fender flares needed with this kit.
Kit includes:
- Coilover upper mounts
- Hub Add-ons
- Arms
- Tie rods
- Tie rod extensions
All the uniballs, bolts, coned bolts, nuts and washers You need to put it on.

Wisefab Honda S2000 Front Track Kit
Regular price $3,150.00Description
Honda S2000 is a well designed car for enthusiast driver. The car performs well on streets and can be taken to a race track. If the focus is more towards performance, then the car can act even better with lowered ride height, but then the factory designed kinematics wouldn’t work as it supposed to. The Wisefab kit would bring the RC, bump steer and camber gain back to normal range on lowered car, providing better roll stiffness, better handling and grip. It has over 40mm lower A-arm joint drop compare to original knuckle.
Weight reduction over original components and still maintaining required strength and stiffness
7075-T6 aluminum billet CNC knuckles and CrMo arms with optimized design and all double shear connections provide low weight and high strength.
CrMo rod ends and sphericals used instead of rubber bushings
Easy camber adjustment on knuckle
Camber can be adjusted easily on trackside in a few minutes
Bump steer adjustment
Bump steer is adjustable by tie rod height on knuckle
Quicker steering ratio.
Steering ratio is slightly quicker compare to original
Other components, packaging and clearance.
This kit assumes coilovers
Minimum rim size is 17“
Track width is close to original, So similar size and offset rims can be used as with original suspension. We have tested 18×10 ET35, 275/35 R18 with wider fender flares. Original wheel speed sensor can be used.
