R32 Coilovers?!?!

[mystery_kid]

8/6 is fine if you have some decent valving in them ie. not ISC or whatever wizbang shit is coming out of korea these days

i also drive around with the front on max hard and the rear on half way and i've not had any issues with the car jumping around, but you can play with the damper adjust

also getting adjustable sway bars gives you more option for mountain or track drift

hmmm... so youve got 7/5kg SD's with 24m sways... id probs run something like that or possibly 8/6 with the 24mm sways would be abit more suited to my car because its primarily drift, i dont drive in the hills too often.

how much did a set of SD's cost in Aus???

Like White GTS-T said... stiffer doesn't always mean better for drift. It will usually just result in you just being slower. At the end of the day any set-up that gets you to the track to actually enjoy drifting will be ok. Then go from there as you learn what feels right and what doesn't.

Yeh, well a good set of coilovers like im looking at getting im sure will have suitable enough valving and adjustment.... Yeh, thinking of getting some adjustable sway bars over 24mm thick front and rear....

I can understand this, because the shocks that are in now are very stiff and the rebound is hektik... so the car just bump steers and jumps all over the place... when im drifting its alrigh tho.

But i wanna get this right the first time, hence why im trying to find out what would be suitable for my needs. I think ive almost got it tho.

I can see your concerns as its a big decision and a big purchase. But if the car is primarily going to be used for drift then you'd be hard pressed to go passed the SD's. The valving of the SD's are specifically suited to drift, with the spring rates to match. If i could offer one piece of advice it would be to copy someones setup that works. That might sounds stupid as everyones driving style is different, but that's what i did with 'Simon-R32's setup, as i knew it was a proven performer. I just customized it to suit my driving style. Like you said, you think my car has too much body roll, that could be tuned out with thicker swaybars etc.

I got my SD's from Japan for $2000 delivered. At the moment, one of the sponsors on NS has them advertised for $2610 plus shipping.

hahah, yeh i already talked to jesse.. i thought we were ment to keep this guy on the low down... it will work out to be about 1900 or 2000 off him soo all good. Woo hoo! i am gonna get SD's.... and some phat sways..

[mystery_kid]

why would you keep him on the down-low? he's running a business

should have some defi BF's turning up from in at the start of next weeki

[White GTS-T]

Will be receiving a gt2530kai from him soon, hopefully in time to fit and tune before the next Winton meet.

Quite the opposite.. spread the word about him as much as possible so he can keep doing what he is doing.

[Jack_Sky]

hmm, ok fair enough... excellent. hopefully he is there in years to come then. hahah

fail on Tein for having to pay for different spring rate...

im just gonna get 7/5kg and get some massive sways, see how it goes.. then if i need to ill get stiffer spring rates later.

[mystery_kid]

you'll probably be right with those rates, you have the damper adjustability which i've found makes a bit of difference on mine anyway

i softened them right up when i was at a track day which was pissing down rain

like a week later i changed them to full hard on the front and middle on the rears and it was like a totally different car

[09yonnie]

How about getting Zeal B6 they are good!!

[gwin]

you'd want to stay away from super street, flex or mono flex series. They are for "street" use.

Try NA or HA, I think they even have a drift specific one too

I've used HA, it's a bugger of a setup to drive as a daily but it really does perform for time attacks
