For enthusiasts and professionals alike, angle kits represent a pivotal upgrade in the realm of drifting. By enhancing a car's steering capabilities, these kits allow drivers to achieve tighter angles and more controlled drifts. At SLRspeed, our Angle Kits for Drifting are crafted with precision, offering both novice and seasoned drivers the ability to push their vehicles to new limits.
Understanding Angle Kits
Angle kits modify a vehicle's steering components to increase the steering lock, enabling sharper turns and better drift angles. This modification is crucial for competitive drifting where precision and control can make the difference between winning and losing. Our kits, such as the Corvette C5/C6 Quick Steer / Angle Kit, are designed to provide the best performance enhancements possible.
Key Features of SLRspeed Angle Kits
SLRspeed's angle kits are manufactured in the USA using high-quality materials like billet 7075-T6 aerospace-grade aluminum. This ensures durability and reliability even under the most demanding conditions. The kits include features like a three-position Ackerman adjustment, allowing drivers to fine-tune their steering geometry for specific racing or drifting needs.
Installation and Compatibility
One of the best aspects of our angle kits is their straightforward installation. With a bolt-on design, all necessary hardware is included, making it accessible even for those with limited mechanical experience. Designed to fit seamlessly with the Corvette C5/C6 models, these kits may require minor adjustments such as trimming the inner tie-rods by 15mm for optimal performance.
Enhanced Performance on Track and Street
Installing an angle kit significantly reduces the turning circle of your vehicle. For the Corvette C5/C6, this means transforming its stock 24 degrees of steering lock to a potential 45 degrees. Such an enhancement is not only beneficial on the track but also enhances maneuverability on the street, making everyday driving more enjoyable.
