    Default Extra Lock Q? How much

    Was hitting full lock alot out in Mondello on Sunday which led to a few spins. It would nice to have a bit more.

    How much extra does the washers/ 1 euros coins give you on the 180sx? Is it much? I've found a few old threads but they fail to mention how much.

    I don't have the cash to get the hubs modified & I wouldn't know were to start with modifying them myself.

    Cheers Lads

    if you dont have spacers on front don't put in four as it will start rubbing, 3is bang on but if you have spacers go for it jus once your getting couple of threads back into the rack if you know i mean...euro coin is exactly 2mm so if you use 3coins = 6mm. so you need to adjust your rack ends that amount to even her out...pm if you'v any hassel mate

    ya the washers are a good job and cheap way to do it but then ya run into more problems like over center.which can be a pain in the hole




    PS if you do go with it.keep an eye on the the thread left on the tie rod going back into the rack.can be left with very little thread and will be dangerous.could end crashing it over cutting cost
