Mazda RX8 Lock kit by Wisefab has a relocated steering rack for better performance. We have created a custom 7075 aluminium billet U-joint to connect Mazda steering colum with the BMW rack. This lock kit has revised kinematics with adjustable Ackermann with custome washers. All the OEM bushings are replaced with spherical bearings for a better and precise handling.

Here is our recommended alignment parameters:
Toe in/out: If Ackermann is 0 or negative then toe is 2mm out. If Ackermann is positive then toe is 0
Camber: -4 +/-0,5
Caster: 6 +/-0,5

 
  • Suitable for Mazda RX8 and MX5 NC (2005 – 2015)
    The kit comes with parts to fit a BMW E36 or E46 rack to the subframe. The knuckle has 2 positions for tie rod attachment: for original rack position and for a lowered position. For lowered position it has also some adjustability in case someone has already lowered the rack and it doesn't match with our designed height.
  • 65 degrees of lock, parallel steering
    You can tune your steering geometry either towards positive or negative Ackermann in just a few minutes even at trackside without messing up the alignment. The Ackermann adjustment kit is included.
  • Adjustable lock stopper
  • Higher roll center (RC)
    On Wisefab knuckles, both joints are dropped, which brings the front RC up on a lowered car, providing higher roll stiffness, good camber control and minimal bump steer with high steering angles. With our kinematics we have assured that the camber will provide very good front grip and bump steer is minimal throughout the steering range.
  • Steering jacking control
    During drifting, when steering angle is increased, jacking is also bigger, even with the same geometry it could become a problem. We have changed the geometry in a way that doesn't cause any handling issues.
  • Consistent and predictable self-alignment torque
    Caster is not the only important parameter to provide sufficient self-alignment torque, especially at high lock. It's the combination of different parameters to maintain consistent trail and self-alignment torque. With our setup the steering wheel turns always to the direction of movement and doesn't get stuck at full lock.

Kit includes:

  • Upper and lower control arms
  • Knuckles with hardware
  • Assembeled tie rods
  • Rack relocating kit
  • Installation guide

 

 

Other information:

  • This kit assumes coilovers for enough clearance
  • Ride height is designed to be ~80mm when measured from the subframe to the ground
  • Dependent on rim width and ET, widened fenders or flares will be needed
  • Inner wheel wells do not need to be modified with tire diameter up to 635mm (215/45R17, 225/45R17, 235/40R17, 225/40R18 etc)
  • Minimum rim size is 17"
  • Recommended backspacing is ~135mm (7" ET45; 8" ET35; 9" ET20). If ET is smaller, then wheels stay more outwards, if ET is bigger, then spacers need to be used
  • Original wheelspeed sensor (ABS sensor) can be used
  • Original swaybar can be used in front

Wisefab Nissan 240sx
"’We started working together with Wisefab back in 2014 when we launched our Falken Tyres Nissan 240sx for European competition. Since then, we have enjoyed working closely with the engineers at Wisefab testing new products before going into production and have had a lot of success winning multiple championship worldwide. Thank you to everyone at Wisefab for believing in us and producing such top-quality products."
Nissan 240sx Drift
“When I first installed a Wisefab lock kit it truly opened the door for some more aggressive driving style. I quickly began to expect nothing less than the massive angle and performance that Wisefab provides and installed a lock kit on all (4) of my Nissan 240sx that I currently drift. Also, after testing what I though was a very competitive rear suspension solution against the latest Wisefab rear kit, I was blown away with the apparent grip gain the rear Wisefab kit yielded. I am so thankful that Wisefab has poured so much effort into creating a bolt on suspension solution that transforms a Nissan 240sx into what I believe is still the most competitive drift chassis in the world."
Nissan 240sx Lock kit
"I love the Wisefab suspension kits used on my competition and demo vehicles, they provide all the angle and grip we love along with the strength and durability we need to compete with the best!"
Toyota 86 Drift
"I wouldn't have half the results! Only by running Wisefab in my Toyota 86 it just makes the car handle so good and let's me adjust set up pretty easy which is a massive help going from track to track!"
