Hi

Ive got a 4L v8 drift car and im looking to get as much drive as possible, im running the car quite low with little camber and slight toe in (no adjustment) i run low tyre pressures in 225's, the rear coilovers are slightly soft with no dampen adjustment

does anyone have any idea's apart from camber/toe adjustment plates

thanks

Not allowed and i use about 24 tyres per drift day too so would be VERY expensive

If you still have an arb fitted to the rear try with it disconnected. Will allow more squat in corners.

Hi

Disconnect the Anti Roll Bar completely, Also if possible adjust the rear ride height get the car sitting as flat as possible. to help the weight transfer over the rear wheels.

you mentioned the rear coil overs are slightly soft? this could have a effect on grip as you are not getting the weight transferred to the tyres, instead its being lost in the bump on the coilovers. Soft is good for the initial transfer but too soft will have a detrimental effect.


If your tyres are old and hard they wont have much grip left in them so try and use the freshest ones you can get.
