I was just wondering what makes a drift set up. You know like how TEIN has the TEIN HE's which are specailly designed for drifting and many other companies which make suspension designed speciffically for drifting. I was wondering what a drift setup actually depends on. I would imagine the suspension would have to be stiff. Could you guys skool me on this stuff.

Thanks

 

Your level of skill.

 

Well i already knew that. Every activity a person does requires a certain amount of skill, the more skill you have the better you will be at it, etc. What i was asking was how do professional drifters set up their cars ( like their suspenision and what not). And also i notice drift cars have that big *** camber in the front. Which im guessing is because when the car is sideways more weight goes on that side and the tire gains more contact with teh ground rather than riding most of the weight on the edge of the tire. Maybe i should have sumed it all up and said what is the first thing you should know when tuning your suspension for drifting.

 

It's driver preference really. From what I've heard/read, stiffer suspension, camber up front for grip, and a low ride hieght.

 

well at the moment there is no exact science to it.. you just have to experement

 

Research what road racers use. Then build from there.

 

now that i think about it suspension has to be the biggest part of a drift set up. body roll is a killer.
