What is a Backorder?
Q: What is backorder?
When a product is on backorder, it means that we have sold out and we are opening a back order due to popular demand. This is essentially a queue, when new stock arrives from production, we’ll send your order.Q: Will items in my order that are in stock be shipped out first?
We will send your order altogether once your backorder item is ready! You may wish to place separate orders if you want an item before the other is due back in stock.15% off combo price
The new GKTECH Super Lock combo is designed for those that are looking for a combo as opposed to piecing a kit together one by one and for buying as a combo we are offering a 15% discount.
Mix and match from a range of different options to suit your specific setup. Ie. You may or may not need every option available and as such we're not making it a requirement to purchase every required option in order to get the 15% discount (note that the LCA's and knuckles are required to be purchased in order for this to be a considered a "combo" however every other option is just that, an option)
Super Lock Chromoly LCA's
The Super Lock LCA's are available in 2 different lengths and are chassis specific. In most cases the shorter LCA's will be sufficient and the longer LCA's will in most cases only be able to be used when running wider front guards.
The further the LCA is wound out the less likely there will be any issues with wheel clearance to the chassis rail. Order the type of LCA based on the chassis. Ie. if you have an R32, order R32 LCA's.
LCA length options:
S13/R32/Z32 adjustable from +9mm through to +44mm
S13/R32/Z32 adjutable from +39mm through to +74mm
S14/S15/R33/R34 adjustable from 0mm (OEM lenght) through to +35mm
S14/S15/R33/R34 adjustable from +30mm through to +65mm

Optional items:
Rack spacers - Offset or non offset?
If you are looking for more steering lock then rack spacers are required. Offset rack spacers are required to help avoid steering bind if you have not relocated your steering rack. If you have relocated your steering rack then non offset rack spacers are the way to go. If you aren't looking for more steering lock and you're using your car for grip racing then rack spacers are not required.

Inner Tie rods
Depending on whether you run rack spacers or not and also the length that you set the LCA at you will need different length inner tie rods. We have made a 14mm tie inner tie rod that had enough adjustment to suit any configuration with our LCA's/knuckles. Note that these will only work with 14mm tie rod ends.

High misalignment outer tie rod ends - 12mm or 14mm?
Although not absolutely required running our high misalignment spherical outer tie rod ends will assist in the feel of your steering and they do have bump steer adjustment. Available in both 12mm and 14mm although 14mm are recommended for drifting however note that you will need to be running the corresponding inner tie rod size.

High misalignment outer tie rod ends Upper camber arms?
The OEM upper camber arms bushes are common to wear out incorporating play and do not offer any articulation in the suspension travel. Most aftermarket arms are also a solid piece. The Gktech upper camber arms are a two-piece arm and allow the J-Arm to twist during suspension travel with no resistance. They are super critical when using our lower control arms in aiding no resistance during operation, ensuring the front end is as smooth as butter.

FAQs
How much angle can I get out of the superlock combo?The kit itself can support 65 degrees of lock, the FLCAs can with even at as little as +30mm in LCA length. A 2 piece LCA would require you to go +50mm or more in order to achieve the same amount of steering lock.
What's so good about the FLCA's?
The GKTECH Super Lock LCA's are unique in that they are the only 1 piece high clearance LCA on the market that is able to be used with an OEM or OEM based knuckle. As shown in the render above of the tyre sitting over where the caster rod would typically go a regular 2 piece LCA and caster rod can not achieve as much clearance as a 1 piece design can which is the reason we opted for the V2 being a 1 piece design. The 1 piece design is more expensive to manufacture however the benefits lie in the increase in tyre clearance, the decrease in overall weight and the increase in stiffness over a 2 piece design. Other brands make a 1 piece LCA similar in style to ours however neither can be used with an OEM or OEM based knuckle. A few other points:
- Other brands can not be adjusted while on the car, ours can.
- Our LCA's come in 2 different length options ranging from OEM length through to +74mm's.
- Other brands have kits have ball joints sitting on a completely horizontal axis which increase the scrub radius and reduces the inside guard clearance. Our scrub radius has not been altered from the factory position and as such our kit has more inside guard clearance than other branded kits at the same LCA length.
What's so good about drop knuckles?
A lot of people think that the best thing about knuckles (aka uprights) is getting more steering angle to drift however the main advantage of installing knuckles is the roll centre correction and bump steer correction.
Extremely lowered vehicles typically handle poorly, with drop knuckles like these installed the handling will improve dramatically as your lower control arm and castor (aka tension) rods are sitting near horizontally which brings them back to where they were before the car was lowered, which is exactly what you want.
What's the difference between this offset steering rack spacer and the non offset steering rack spacer that you sell?
The offset steering rack spacer moves the tie rod end mount forward 25mm's where as the standard non offset steering rack spacer is a direct extension and doesn't relocate the mounting points. The offset steering rack spacer is only needed with aftermarket or modified knuckles where as the non offset steering rack spacer can be used with the standard knuckles.
Is there a difference between the R-Chassis steering racks?
The R33 steering rack provides the least amount of travel so if you are chasing every last degree of angle, swapping to an R32 steering rack will give a few more degrees of lock.
What size wheel specs should I use for the best clearance?
