Wisefab high angle drift kit
The Wisefab high angle drift kit is designed for professional drifting and demanding motorsport applications. It offers more than 65 degrees of turn, parallel steering geometry, and advanced adjustment options, providing precise control, firm front grip, and predictable driving throughout the entire steering range.
More than 65 degrees of steering angle
The kit provides more than 65 degrees of steering angle while maintaining controlled and predictable steering behavior. Its geometry has been specifically developed for high-angle drifting, where conventional suspension components may exhibit insufficient rigidity, limited clearance, and undesirable changes in wheel alignment.
Adjustable Ackermann geometry
Steering geometry can be quickly adjusted to either a positive or negative Ackermann angle. The adjustment can be made in minutes, even at the track, without altering the vehicle's wheel alignment.
An Ackermann adjustment kit is included, allowing the steering response to be tailored to driver preferences, vehicle setup, and track conditions.
Adjustable steering lock stop
The integrated adjustable lock stop allows for precise adjustment of the maximum steering angle. This helps prevent interference between the wheels, suspension components, and body, while optimizing the available steering angle for a specific wheel and tire setup.
One-piece lower control arm
The original lower suspension arms are replaced with a rigid, one-piece lower control arm. At high steering angles, conventional multi-link systems can create rigidity and clearance issues. The one-piece design improves rigidity, increases available clearance, and simplifies caster angle adjustment.
Caster angle can be easily adjusted, allowing the suspension geometry and steering response to be adapted to the driver's needs.
Raised front roll center
Wisefab steering knuckles incorporate repositioned suspension joints that raise the front roll center on lowered vehicles. This increases anti-roll stiffness and improves front axle response during rapid changes in direction.
The revised geometry may also allow for the removal of the front anti-roll bar. This is particularly beneficial in high-angle drifting applications, where integrating an anti-roll bar around the steering and suspension components can be challenging.
Optimized camber control and minimal bump steer
In drift vehicles, dynamic camber and bump steer are significantly more important than static alignment values. Wisefab suspension kinematics are designed to maintain favorable camber characteristics throughout the suspension travel and steering range.
This helps the front tires maintain a stable contact patch, providing firm front axle grip during cornering and drifting. Bump steer is kept to a minimum throughout the steering range, improving stability and steering precision.
Steering lift control
At extreme steering angles, steering lift becomes considerably more pronounced and can negatively affect handling. Wisefab geometry has been developed to control this effect and prevent unwanted vehicle movements or unpredictable balance changes during drifting.
Predictable self-aligning torque
Caster alone is not sufficient to generate consistent self-aligning torque, especially at very high steering angles. The Wisefab system combines various suspension and steering geometry parameters to maintain a constant mechanical trail and reliable steering return.
As a result, the steering wheel naturally follows the vehicle's direction and does not get stuck when turned to the maximum. This provides predictable self-steering behavior and offers the driver greater confidence during transitions and long drifts at steep angles.
