It was only a matter of time... Genesis steering angle modifications are underway….

From the factory Genesis coupe’s have only 39 degrees of steering angle. We are currently hitting 54 degrees of steering angle without any wheel well clearance modifications or the proper offset. All steering angle degree tests were done with the toe alignment set to 0 degrees.

Holy crap.

ok...i'm assuming that is get a better angle while drifting....what would this do while on the road? how is it done? i'm not very familiar with the drift thing

That thing is going to be a siiiick drifter. Do you guys know if the RMR drift car has had any steering angle modification done?

Thanks for the replies guys!

For daily driving it will lower your turning radius, which will lead to easier U-turns and parallel parking. The modification does not change the steering ackerman so the steering response will still remain the same, but you will just be able to achieve more steering angle from lock to lock.

Yes, we got the idea from RMR's drift car

That is wild! I dunno that I would ever do that...we don't parallel park in FL

**only1db** · 10-14-2009 03:12 PM

ok makes sense...but how is it acheived? does that also mean that lock to lock is no longer the 2.5 or so? how much more wear on the steering rack?

KPR,

A bit off topic but are you guys running Enkei RPF1's? I am thinking about getting them in black like Rhys

The modification does not change the steering ackerman so the steering response will still remain the same, but you will just be able to achieve more steering angle from lock to lock. The steering wheel turning degrees from lock to lock is increased. Since the steering rack is not utilizing the whole travel of the steering rack there should not be any premature steering rack wear. We are still in the developmental stage in testing will provide any updates as we go.

Yup... we are running 19x9 and 19x10 Enkei RPF1's.

Our Genesis Steering Angle Kit will include outer tie rod ends engineered to work with our custom machined stainless steel steering rack spacers.

COMING... eventually ;)
