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)
Our Super lock combo is capable of up to 70 degrees steering lock! With the super lock LCA's in a strong one-piece design, our V4 knuckles providing the best geometry and most amount of steering lock, our high clearance sway bar perfect for S chassis with engine conversions and MORE!
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 S13, order S13 LCA's.
LCA length options:
S13/R32 adjustable from +9mm through to +44mm
S13/R32 adjutable from +39mm through to +74mm
S14/S15/R33/R34 adjustable from 0mm (OEM length) through to +35mm
S14/S15/R33/R34 adjustable from +30mm through to +65mm

Ball joint shank options:
Available to suit either S13 or S14/S15 knuckles and available in OEM length or +20mm extended. The +20mm extended are really only useful on REALLY low cars and may also have clearance issues with some rims when used in conjunction with our drop knuckles. In 99% of cases when using drop knuckles the non extended shanks are perfectly suited.
Order the type of ball joint shank based on the knuckle that you are running. If if you're running S14/S15 knuckles on an S13 you need an S14/S15 ball joint shank.
V4 Drop Knuckles:
Available to suit either S13 or S14/S15 hubs. Order based on the hubs that you are going to be running and ensure that you order the ball joint shanks to match.
You now have an option to choose from either our Grip specific knuckles, our V4 Grip/ Drift knuckles and finally our Drift dedicated V4 Pro Drift knuckles.
More information on the knuckles can be seen here;
S-Chassis front drop knuckles
NOTE: If you are choosing the Pro knuckles, note that they do have inbuilt caster trail so it is recommended to pair these with our strut tops for best results and for an adequate amount of adjustment, they can be seen HERE
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.

Offset strut tops - Budget, V2 or V3 Premium?
Offset strut tops are beneficial when you run out of positive camber adjustment and/or you want to introduce some caster at the top of the strut (helps with avoiding steering bind). The budget strut top will require cutting of the OEM strut tower where as cutting isn't required with the v2 strut tops, with still adequate adjustment.
However, the V3 premium version allows a crazy amount of adjustment and adjusts the castor independently from the camber.
NOTE: Budget version will only suit coilovers with upper camber adjustment and with 60mm spacing from bolt to bolt.

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 Clearance Swaybar
Designed to clear 70 degrees of steering lock and will work with any LS, JZ or RB engine swap. If you want to run a swaybar and you want lots of steering lock clearance, this is the one for you. Order the D bushes and levers based on your chassis. Ie. if you have an S13 order S13 D bushes and S13 levers.
Swaybar options:
- D bushes
- Levers

FAQs
How much angle can I get out of the superlock combo?The kit itself can support 70 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:
- Our design is the only 1 piece design that can be used with a swaybar (See our high clearance swaybars here: https://au.gktech.com/s-chassis-high-clearance-adjustable-swaybar-1)
- 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 branded 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.
The reasoning behind that is as your lower control arm and castor (aka tension) rods are sitting near horizontal, this now brings them back to where they were before the car was lowered, which is exactly what you want for optimum handling.
Are you able to run the 350z front calipers with these knuckles?
Yes! The 350z caliper fits the OEM S-Chassis knuckle just by drilling the caliper mounting hole from 12mm to 14mm. We have left enough meat on the caliper mount to allow for this also.
I have done a 5 stud conversion with mixed parts, which models should I purchase of each item?
The FLCAs are chassis specific, the shanks are knuckle specific, the knuckles are ball joint shank specific and the swaybar is chassis specific, irrespective of what FLCAs you have.
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.
How much angle can the swaybar clear?
Our swaybar levers sit underneath the chassis rail and do not protrude past where your wheel would normally hit. Ie. you'll hit your chassis rail before you'll hit the swaybar lever.
Will the swaybar clear my oil pan?
We have test fit these on LS, RB, VQ35/37 and 1JZ/2JZ conversions in S chassis' with loads of clearance. In the event that this swaybar doesn't clear your oil pan then we would be happy to provide a refund but as far as we know this swaybar has more clearance than any other available.
What size wheel specs should I use for the best clearance?
