O my bad ...i just got my supra and the guy gave me the recipts for all the suspension work and everything for the car...and I know the coils are hnr because theyre blue and say hnr on the in like 3 places on each coil....and I know theyre not cut because they dont have amy cut marks and all look complete I mightve read the description of the coils wrong so yea I was wron only a 1.6" drop my baf

lol couple years ago i was rockin some 260/50 tires they had mean traction..
i would not mind some more...but possibly a smaller sidewall this time

newtosupra · 02-05-2012, 04:46 PM

Yea I know what you mean I like the look of really wide tires in the back and I like the extra traction ...but Ive been trying to drift latly and im kinda liking not having super wide tires in the back ... But yea key word is "trying" lol off topic but the best drift I had was when I got off from work at like 2 inthe morning and was with my friend and he has his ae86 and we left the shop and getting on to meridian I slowed down t to about 20 dropped it in 2 second cranked the wheeps and kicked the clutch and judt kept it pinned and took the corner like a champ lol

i found in the mk3s drifting had to be taken to a higher speed just to lose traction. floppy suspension in the mk2s and lighter makes it easier.
just don't over correct and your fine...and don't get caught, because it is illegal, friend of mine got a ticket a few weeks ago in his corolla (welded rear end and 4ac) it was like a slow motion movie in the snow, haha lol

as of right now i have 275/40/17 front and rear, 17x9 front, 17x10 rear, +25 offset front, +45 offset rear. And about a 2 1/2" drop all around i say, and i have some rubbing but i have to get my fenders rolled and it should be fine.

Ya all I'm looking for is more traction. I have 265 on there now and if I take off too hard off the line, all I do is spin. I'm hoping wider tires will give more traction and thus help my situation. That's my only weak point at the drag track so I'll take anything I can get

if your rear end is open this may cause one wheel peel resaulting in traction loss...
LSD for the win!!!

Yeah, and I can't begin to imagine what that 4" drop did to the alignment and how it's affecting traction when torque is applied.

Ya I already upgraded to a 1.5 way Cuzco differential and have tein 16 adj coil overs. I can light em up if I punch it in second gear. I wanna hook that power up and take off. This wheel spin is really hurting my 1/4 mile time
