How Is Your Drift Suspension Set up?

[Ballistic]

Sup Boys,

Just startin a thread to find out what suspension set ups everyone is using, and how effective it has been to drift with.

Also what tyre/rim combo you have, and how you have achieved (if at all) an even weight distribution.

Pretty much everything except the Motor side of things (unless you must).

Maybe put what power you are putting out at the wheels.

Thanks Guys.. responses should be helpfull and interesting!

Not specifically to do with drift but it is to do with drift type suspension...

Does anyone know anybody who can rebuild a Tein coilover shock?

stock standard

all you need is a rippen mechanical lsd and .9 bar of boost

I know you "can" drift with such a standard wet up and some boost,

but what im saying is.. what setings is everyone using.. what combination of suspension components works best for these cars in drift situations.

What modifications have people made to the car in order to fine tune their drifting experiences.

Mods........Stock everything except 35mm Low King Springs.

Its all in the attitude.

drift cars r shit to drive rough, tyre wear is shit overall just shithouse

so just drift on the standard shit and atleast you will have a nice car to drive

Been for a drive in an Ex Japanese drift Sileighty, it was kinda cool bouncing around for the first 10 minutes, with all the diff/exhaust noise. Then it slowly became annoying. Its registered but really is a track car that can be driven on the street (Its actually for sale i think around 18k)

The bigger turbo was fine for street, exhaust was a bit loud, and susp wasnt as bad as i expected, had coilovers (couldnt see which brand) , adjustable control arms etc, some of which were rose jointed!!! It drove pretty well and based on the roads we drove on found it to be tolerable. However the roads were less then 2 years old (new estate and highway) and im told it gets much worse as soon as you hit a typical Sydney road.

I think it comes down to driver skill well before car setup. Anyone that has seen me drive on the track (oh and their is video evidence of this) can tell you that i dont have a clue.

I could blame the car setup, but i know its not my car, Ian Luff has thrashed my thing for 1 minute around a tight course outlined with witches hats, i dont think the was straight for more than 5mtrs, and he didnt loose it once.

And my setup, well its a full Whitleine kit, which is street, occasional track suspension, definitely not drift
