Drifting angle lock kit

I'm currently converting an Evo 8 to RWD for drift competitions & I need a steering lock kit, including mounts & lower arms. Such kits are usually offered for RWD cars such as Nissans & BMW's, I'm hopping that someone does make such kit for RWD Evos?

I'd appreciate any information

that should be enough to tell you that someone doesn't make this kit.

custom fab is your option. having a rwd evo is rare enough, making a commercial sale kit would be such a waste of money for any company because there are a handful of cars in the world that would actually use it

Interesting project, so if say you have 400hp ATW on a normal Evo, if you converted it to RWD how many HP would you have at the rear wheels?

Even though I would never consider this option, I can respect all the work you're doing. Build thread?

Any Mitsubishi is probably the absolute worst car for steering angle at lock...These cars don't do tight turning radius at all.

Best bet, add a bunch of length to the LCA to get the tire away from the body and then a short steering arm on the custom front hub carrier you come up with. The rack already has a fairly decent amount of travel to it.
