no buddy they stay virtually where the existing ones are. a lot of work involved to make it trailing, like move the rack infront of the engine for starters and a custom knuckle

With you on that one!

@Dunc - Question

Regarding the problem of wheels, what is the issue, is it the rear 'face' shape or the inner wheel space? E.g can I use them with 7.5j comits and large enough spacers?

Cheers Ryan.

Hi Ryan,

inner wheel diameter yes, calipers are rather deep. although that answer will vary wheel to wheel. spoke clearance will undoubtedly causes issues with certain wheels yes.

in short, id go as far as saying anything that can fit to the front of an s60r should fit

Just a thought... Can the knuckles from V70r fit onto a850 ?

[DunkinBiskits]

sadly not

[winsox]

How is the fabrication of the brackets proceeding

[winsox]

anyone thought of just getting the steering knuckle manufactured with and hanger built in?

[DunkinBiskits]

at about probably 5-6 times the price of the adapters is it really worth it? you've got the suspension geometry to maintain aswell as steering. far too many things to go awry.

hoping to speak to the machine shop next week. ill keep you updated
