Well you cant just buy a pair of shoes for any purpose you must ask yourself what will you be using them for. Well the same goes for tires, rims, and suspension.

There are many diferent types of suspension setups.

You have drag, circuit, cruise, top speed, and D1. Since you are asking this in the drift section I am assuming you want a D1 type setup. In my experience and everyones opinion is different in this matter due to the different driving styles. The best D1 suspension setup on the market is the JIC setup. There is also the TEIN that is justy amazing or you can also pay top dollar for the apexi setup. All these setups have about the same price give or take a few bills.

suspension
 
people are talking about using coilovers and such, i'm looking for a cheaper alternative to buying those things that cost upward of 1000 lol. i'm poor and i'm pretty sure that there are other poor people around. i was looking at buying some springs to lower my car, new struts and some sway bars to keep my body flat and planted while i drift. i can SORTA drift now but the body roll is too much for me to handle, i can literally like feel the car dip like a foot down in the corners. i'm looking at buying some eibach springs, cuz the selection for springs is not that great. i dont know what struts or sway bars to buy though. i know not to get the tokico struts because all i hear is bad news about them constantly blowing out

90 supra n/a: hks super drager exhaust - top speed 140mph

intrax springs are good i had them on my last supra 86.5 N/A and the suspension was tight and great. i currently am looking to buy those again for my 89 turbo now and i'll probably buy either toxico or kyb shocks. and that too me should be fine to mess around with cuz i'm not gonna be drifting in competition or anything so that suspension should be efficient.

has anyone here ever tried the kei office coilovers for the mkiii?

Levi1717 05-11-2006 09:05 PM

what about just coilover or adjustable springs? ne good ones out there that ppl know of? any help would be great thanks.

i gots intrax springs and stock shocks and they work great for drifting... $229 on 935motorsprts, i believe they're having a sale down to $189

Levi1717 05-16-2006 09:55 PM

what about adjustable ones that sit on a threaded pipe and can adjust the ride height since i live in maine i can't just lower it.

Eibach Pro-Kit with KYB G2s. Not rigid enough for my taste but it handles much better than factory.

i hang with alot of drifting guys and though i am no expert i have to heard abou this shit 24/7. camber and caster settings play a big roll. most cars come from the factory with around .5 degrees negative caster and 5 degrees posotive camber. camber/caster is adjustable by buying aftermarket rear upper control arms (adj. camber) and front pillow tenson rods (adj. caster). most drifters will run maybe 1.5 degrees neg. camber and 6 degrees positive caster. toe in/out is also important but not tops on the list. coilovers help but a simple shock/spring setup should suffice. cheap upgrades are a nice way to start out. rear subframe brace ($60) adds some stiffness and polyurthane bushings for swaybars and steering components add to responsiveness...that crisp feeling. a 2-way on/off lsd in nice but not a must. i wouldnt weld your diff unless you have a drift-only slut (a drifter buddy of mine with a mk2 200sx turbo has a weld diff and its shit for daily.)
