I've done a few drift days on my 86. And I've found the camber the biggest issue.
Too little in the front and too much in the back.
Added Whiteline camber bolts, they gave me 1.0 degree. Still not enough.
Will try new Front lca's, and Rear uca's. Want to get around 3.5 Front camber, 0.5 - 1 rear camber.
I run zero toe all round. If it was only track, I would toe out on front, but I like to run zero front toe, as it makes for a nicer street car; and I like having the car drive/act the same on the street and track.

I used two tyres in two events. Go the mighty 86! Well, I also half rooted my semis on the front from lack of front camber, but that was my fault, thinking I could make the weak front camber work.

diss7 · 09-23-2013, 12:29 AM

Oh and I wouldn't recommend semi's up front, too much grip, front dragged. Also, not a good combo with weak lock.

I liked the way it steered with 215/45 better. More flow.

Also I tried the 205/55/16 stock tyres I had. Super shit. So much profile. Do not try.

Rear swaybar, is the best thing I got for car. Running Whiteline Xheavy duty. Car power oversteers now, 2nd and 3rd. Quick stab on the throttle in 3rd and it comes around.

I stick to 3rd gear now. Because supercharger.

A quick copy and paste from Tony Angelo from an FRS/BRZ angle modification thread on ZT

"It took a complete revamp of the front end to get it to steer well, and make angle. You won't get anywhere near S chassis angle without some serious work/$$$. We worked our asses off to get this thing to work this year, and I'm pretty happy with it, considering it's a brand new chassis and we had to figure everything out for ourselves."

Mine are 5kg front and rear.

Too soft for the track, but good on street. I'm happy with compromise.

It I didnt daily it, I'd go much firmer. 8 - 10kg.

When I say too soft on track, its sort of good , because you get weight transfer etc. But yeah, I'd still rather firmer for track.
