benjy88 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Hi all, In a month or so, I'll be looking to get my coilovers. I'm aware that there'll be some problems with other components... I do a lot of drifting in my spare time, on one of my customers' runways. Can you guys give me some tips and some advice as to what other bits I need to keep an eye on or change, when I get to fitting them? B.

lmc Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Camber arms 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteman35 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Depends how low you go mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjy88 Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share Posted July 15, 2013 Thought as much... anything else? Was chatting to a friend of mine who races an S13 in time attack, and he mentioned a lot of technical gubbins about various components which will solve issues of bump steer...

benjy88 Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share Posted July 15, 2013 I'd really like to go to about 40mm lower, front and rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arran Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 You will need rear camber arms regardless tbh, that's about all you need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblock Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Front camber arms too IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteman35 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Like Arran said mainly rear camber arms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliveBoy Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 (edited) I've got BC racing ones, they are as low as they can go on the rear and all I changed was the rear camber arms. For drifting you want some front camber anyway, so that when you're on full lock you have a decent contact patch with the floor. Before I changed the rear camber arms I had -3 degrees of camber which was waaaay too much. Edit: Where's my invite to the airfield??
