we do all realise that drift set up is not all that far off track set ups??? yes softer suspension as hills are never smooth and often the roads suck. you will really only need about 3 or so degrees neg camber and as the tyres go why stretch???? go low profile wheels a set of 17" would be perfect. thats my thoughts. i have tried this on my car with the 4age on Mt NEAO and it was like driving a gokart.
As said above you don't need much money to compete, but you might end up needing cubic dollars to do well.
Have a look at my ride. Its well setup for grip. Feel free to ask about what each mod achieved and how its been tested. I just cant be arsed writing an essay about it when you might only want specific points.
Cheers.
Do the 4k jokes ever end? Haha haven't heard from you for a while!
Yeah im gunna go 4age after suspension mod's
I went and seen my mate at autozone today to order some swaybars but what would be the best size front and back?
I think the front around 22-24mm.
If your after a rear one then the standard one with good bushings is fine for grip, or none at all if you can adapt to the feel of the car like that. It feels a touch unsafe but the rear is very sticky.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
F*CK that lol but is tested i can see how it would work. just some food for thought the car can not be to stiff as you want it to "dip" into courners thats what helps to get it in and out easy just dont think bigest thickest is best at all times and take into thought your driving styal. One other thing make it light remove sound deadening and replace glass with plexi glass and so on.
fuck the 4k off man!
4ks for life y0!

this is great advice i feel..
my hill climb events last little over 1min 50sec's.. if your using a race pad you will get no wher near enough heat and my times were down using race pads!!
Begginer set up.... im guessing you drive the car daily.. but if you are going to buy a lsd anyway.. i guess diff ratio is an option.. dont go crazy or you'll never want to drive on the highway again!!! top speed in my events is like 110.. good rubber and lsd you'l have more than enough grip.. adjusting the ratio will give you a big advantage
going off this advice, i'd actually not take on board anything you wrote in either of those two posts
common 86 drift setup = too hard rear springs, dampers too hard, tire pressure too hard. not going to be the most controllable car around consecutive corners, is it. which is a contradictory statement to your second post. and 'dip' into corners? what?
do you mean that a bit of body roll to enhance tire grip or something. i hope you do.
people tend to confuse tire grip with mechanical grip, and set their cars up so the two fight, and effectively counter each other.
softer spring rates and stiffer swaybars does wonders as you're not relying totally on the tire, but assisting it to do its job at a safe rate
