Modified Steering Knuckles

Hey everyone, I am new to this forum. . . . . So go easy on me.

I have a 97 T/A WS6. I love drifting, so im gonna try it with this vehicle. Yea I know, not your typical drift vehicle but does any know where I can access modified steering knuckles? I plan on doing serious weight reduction and suspension mods very soon. Give any ideas that you see fit!!! I appreciate everyone's input!!!

Modified as in... what? What kind of modification would you need?

I don't know of any aftermarket pieces off the top of my head.

Why do you need them modified? More wheel turn in from lock to lock?

I guess it would be for a deeper tire angle for better control instead of the stock steering knuckles. Engine mods would not be a problem for this motor but suspension mods are a lil bit harder to come by for this vehicle for drifting. BC racing makes pretty decent adjustable racing coilovers I've seen thus far. Any ideas on adjustable rear sway bars and other suspension components?.

this is the closest thing I can think of to what you're looking for:

I would LOVE more steering angle, even on my car as a daily driver haha! and I don't think BC makes coilovers for our cars, only 5th gens. If you want a big rear swaybar you can pick up a 24?mm off of a 3rd gen car really cheap. Or most of the adjustable drag bars are nice and big
