Looking for some grip/drift suspension alignment settings for a31.
Like distance from wheel center to the guard. Toe, Camber, Caster.
Maybe some suspension components advice ? Swaybars, spring rates.
I have stock suspension arms all around(accept for front S14 lower control arm for more track and camber), non adjustable(accept front camber, front toe, rear toe).
With Energy suspension bushings all around. I got coilovers all around 6/4kg spring rates.
I got pretty thick, but solid swaybars all around.
Car height: From wheel center to wheel guard. Front 330-340mm. Rear - 370mm.
I did alignment today, and I had nearly -3.5 camber on front left and -2.6 on the right side. Had to use coilover top camber plate to adjust camber.
Adjusted to ~-2.5 up front. Toe in was nearly 0 degrees. A bit negative. Don't remember the caster.
Rear camber was around -1.5 degrees, don't remember the toe. But it was a bit negative. Toe in it is
What tires I will use:
Grip: Dunlop 9000. 225/245 17 inch. on 8j/9rim for track work.
But I tend to think some 225 on 16inch 8j gtr rims all around will do better for track.
Drift: Anything I can find in the rear from 205 to 225. Front - 225.
What problems I've encountered so far when drifting:
I have hard time swinging the car effortlessly. I have 1way nismo diff. And in the S-bend. When I lift off the throttle I don't get any smooth transition. when I lift off, car wants to regain grip as soon as possible. Frustrating. I blame my 1 way for it. But who knows, maybe you guys have some more advices, tips or comments ?
Thanks!
