Default What suspension is every one running

well right now i own an ae86 set up for drift and well i like it but its old slow but still a nice car. I like drifting and track racing i love the way the sc looks but dosn't know if its for me. Just wondering what suspenion you guys run. Spring rates and all. And do any of you run any lsd and which ones.

most people run either the stock lssd out of the tt auto since it is a direct fit. if they dont use that most go with the trd unit. then again thats just speaking for the na-t and auto tt swaps. for the 6 speed swap if you go that route you will need the whole rear end of the 6 speed. including the axles. go to www.intellexual.net and you will get a lotta info that will be useful.

I just sold my drift setup 240, and bought my SC. I'm planning on getting Silkroad coilovers, 12 and 8 and an ATS deftforce diff, both real soon.

currently sitting on Tein FLEX system, 14kg front 8kg rear (not sure on the rates) along with Daizen swaybars with the rear set to full stiff.

So far I have done one drift event in the car, and it handles like an absolute dream. SOOOOOOO easy to slide around!!! I like it more than my drift 240!!! I just need to track down an auto MKIV TT diff now, cuz open blows goats

I used to have Kei-Office coilovers on my car...very stiff spring rates, something similar (if not a tad bit more stiffer) than the HKS coilovers, I think they were about 16k front and 12k rear, something along those lines. They were WAY too stiff for my liking so I replaced them with stock TEMS struts and Espelir ASD progressive rate springs... about 7k fronts and 6k rears... very smooth and a nice drop too... all I need are thicker swaybars and maybe a Daizen camber correction kit (if I can source/afford one!).

Cheers

Jose
