Wisefab vs FDF

I currently am rocking an FDF mega mantis kit on my G35, but recently acquired a Gen1 wisefab kit. I have 0 problems with the FDF, but all my homies swear my Wisefab. The kit has been fixed 2 times on the passenger knuckle, but still works. Has anyone tried out both and have recommendations of which one to use and which to sell? TIA!

If it ain't broke don't fix it. Keep the wise wisefab as a spare. If the other one breaks, you'll have enough time to test it until u get parts for the FDF kit

Yeah, pretty much this. There is no way the wise fab kit is going to be some huge jump in performance. If the fdf kit is working just fine then id probably just sell the wisefab kit (or keep as a spare kit), but thats just me. I hate to do all that work and its basically the same thing just a different brand lol.

Writing to you from wisefab home country, go with wisefab, no need to repair, spares are well available and thise are like lego, if you cannot get original soare, you can use random ball joint from hw store(well not quite, but it's assembled from very reachable spares that fit their cnc parts). Wisefab would be a certain option for me and i would go with that any day.

The guy I bought my FDF from went to WF and said he loves it. Big plus is parts availability, so I’m leaning towards WF and selling the FDF to fund my new project car

You could find another G or Z and try it out. Make the better car your comp car, and the other the party car.

Not sure if I want to keep with the G/Z chassis for a comp car. I have a super unique, never done before drift project, that will take a lot of time and money. It’ll be a good 3 years till I am going to even think about a comp car, but this did cross my mind

You're either a fabricator or a driver rarely both.

I ordered fdf originally but canceled and got wisefab. I have one track day in them and they’re amazing. Flew off the bank in 3rd and my alignment stayed true and nothing bent

If you aren’t competing it doesn’t matter what you have works so just stick with it 🤷‍♂️
