The Corvette C5 / C6 chassis is becoming increasingly popular in the drifting world. This genuine sports car is highly capable right out of the box and holds significant potential as a drift car.
For those who are not ready to purchase a full PRO-level angle kit, we offer the opportunity to use the same PRO knuckles in combination with OEM control arms. This combination increases the steering angle to over 55 degrees without significantly widening the car. However, handling at high angles is greatly improved due to the improved knuckle kinematics and adjustable Ackermann angle.
If you wish to upgrade this kit to the full PRO version in the future, you simply need to purchase the "Wisefab C5 / C6 Drift Arm Kit".
Recommended alignment parameters:
Toe in/out: If Ackermann is 0 or negative, toe is 2mm out. If Ackermann is positive, toe is 0.
Camber: -4.8
Caster: 7
- Steering angle of 55 degrees or more, parallel steering, and adjustable lock stoppers. You can adjust the steering geometry to either positive or negative Ackermann in just a few minutes, even trackside, without disturbing the alignment. An Ackermann adjustment kit is included.
- Higher roll center (RC).
The joints on Wisefab knuckles are slightly lower, which increases the front RC when the car is lowered, resulting in increased roll stiffness and improved drivability. - Extremely good camber control and minimal bump steer, even at high steering angles.
In a drift car, dynamic camber control and bump steer are far more important than static camber control. Our kinematics ensure that the camber provides excellent front grip and that bump steer is minimized across the entire steering range. - Steering jack control.
During drifting, as the steering angle increases, jacking also increases—even with the same geometry—which can become an issue. We have modified the geometry to prevent handling problems. - Consistent and predictable self-aligning torque.
Caster is not the only important parameter for providing sufficient self-aligning torque, especially at high angles. It is a combination of various parameters to maintain consistent trail and self-aligning torque. With our setup, the steering wheel always rotates in the direction of travel and will not get stuck at full lock. - OEM wheel speed sensors (ABS sensors) can be used.

Before ordering
〇Regarding import consumption tax
At Shafutoya shopping site, we pay the import consumption tax incurred at the time of import on your behalf, so there are no additional charges beyond the total amount paid at checkout.
〇Confirmation of fitment
Since all product databases are based on North American vehicles (USDM), please confirm whether or not they can be installed on Japanese vehicles (JDM) before ordering. (Please feel free to contact us if you are unsure whether the listed product is compatible with your vehicle. Our support team will investigate for you.)
If you order without confirming fitment, we cannot accept returns due to incompatibility.
Please note that even if products are sorted by selecting the year, manufacturer, and vehicle model in the tabs on our top page, this does not necessarily mean they will fit Japanese model vehicles without modification.
All products have been translated into Japanese using translation software. As there may be confusing expressions, please contact us before ordering if you have any questions.
○Regarding delivery
Shipping costs are paid at the time of payment. Shipping estimates are automatically calculated when you enter your shipping address on the checkout page. For large items such as body parts, there may occasionally be a significant discrepancy between the automatically calculated shipping cost and the actual shipping cost. In such cases, we will contact you individually via email.
All products are generally shipped internationally from our US warehouse. Unlike domestic shipping within Japan, international delivery takes about 7 to 14 days, so please order with sufficient time. If you are in a hurry, please contact us in advance to check the delivery time. Note that all products are transported by air. They are never shipped by sea.
○Regarding Japanese vehicle inspection (Shaken) compliance
The products we handle are basically all designed and manufactured outside of Japan. Please note that they are not compliant with the "Japanese vehicle inspection system," and we cannot provide strength calculation documents or similar paperwork for the Japanese inspection system. Therefore, all parts are sold for the purpose of "use on circuits, private property, or off public roads," and installation and use are at your own risk.
○Regarding warranty
Please check the contents immediately upon arrival. Since all products are shipped internationally from outside Japan, there may be shipping damage to the packaging boxes or the products themselves. Please understand that we will only provide returns, refunds, or replacement exchanges if you contact us within 7 days of receipt regarding products with shipping damage, defective products, or items different from your order. Note that for products sold through us, warranty-related support will be handled "exclusively through us." Please be aware that we do not handle support through other companies or distributors located within Japan.
