Gday Guys,
I have another thread http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...017#post1383017 going regarding fixing my camber. I had decided I was going to get all the bushes I need to fix that up, plus get some castor.
However, after I went in a motorkhana on the weekend (first time I have thrown the car around in a sliding fashion) I think maybe I need to look at a better suspension setup aswell.
Here are some pics

Now, I am pretty strapped for cash, and I am NOT interested in throwing lots and lots of money at my car for stuff that I don't really need. BUT...
With that much roll (keep in mind that I was in no higher than 2nd gear, so it's not like I was going fast) should I be looking at a better setup? If so what? Do I just get some decent springs, or do I need to go for coilovers or something. I am 100% NOT willing to spend over $2000. And I am a bit "meh" about spending more than $1000 really. I had planned the castor/camber fix to be up to $1000, so if I was able to kill 2 birds with 1 stone, then maybe we can find a comprimise.
I also need to raise the car as it is *just* under 100mm clearence at lowest point (ie. illegal in NSW)
I plan to use the car as a street car (not street racing...just general usage) I will be doing the occasional track day and drift day. I am going to go to every motorkhana I can get to, but I obviously dont need to spend money on the car for a motorkhana. If I am good at drift (find out next weekend!!) then I will be trying to get to the track every month.
What are my options, and are they really worth it in reality? I am particulary interested in SK's answer.
Thanks in advance
Chris
