@ Racecomp Engineering Thank you for the reference! I plan to have the car set up as stock as possible for drifting prior to adding more complex modifications. I read in another post (I may have also misunderstood it) that to keep the "oversteering" characteristic of this car, a lower (softer? maybe referring to struts?) spring rate is preferred, hence my choice of the pro-kit, because I believe the RCE yellows are both 4.5k front and rear, which is more oriented towards grip? Otherwise I would have gone RCE yellows for their reputation in performance and their willingness to help the community.
Please correct me if I am wrong, and feel free to provide any insight in regards to spring rates and its effect on oversteer/understeer as I am trying to achieve an oversteer bias. Thanks so much for everyone's insight so far! |
For your uses yes the pro-kits may be a better option.
For me a good stage 0 is good alignment, rear whiteline diff inserts, rear whiteline subframe bushings. Add perrin steering lockdown for feel if you like. Obviously choose the right tires for your application. You might try that before even going to springs. This assumes you have good condition shocks.
