Philstar. Do you have a cage or do they let you tandem without?

I've got a lot of suspension tuning to do. It was very twitchy, not smooth to transition, and would wash out at unreasonable angle. But all in all, a very fun day. The supercharger power band is too rapid, it makes clutch kicking nearly impossible with the power jump. A couple friends are more experienced that me and had trouble with it as well. There's just zero forgiveness, and if you drift you know it's all improvisation. Think 2 stroke motorcycle haha. I want to exchange it for a turbo.

You live in Memphis? Forrest is a good buddy of mine and I know a few of the TO guys. Where were yall hot? Holly Springs?

How wide are the front tire?? what suspension are you using and rates??

Seems like the spring rate in the rear is too high!

225 Front. I did have 245 but it didn't feel great. Buddy Club P1 Coilovers. Factory Buddy Club rates. You're probably right. But it wouldn't have affected it this much. It was a combination of so many things.

I had just gotten an alignment but as soon as I got back we checked, and my toe settings were off. Basically initiation felt great but once I would throttle it felt unsteady and even worse under initiation. -2 camber in the rear, which sucks. Front is good, -3. Just seems like every mod I have done made it worse to drift haha.

I saw that Megan Racing makes inner tie rods for our cars with a built in spacer for added steering angle.

Anyone have these yet?

Drift knob has nothing to do with how well the e-brake works. FR-S has probably the best factory e-brake I've ever felt so either something is out of adjustment or you may not be using it properly.

Went to Vegas and did some driiiiiifffftsss :P

It was a bit hard adjusting to such a high elevation. Over 4,000ft. I normally run around 40psi in the rear and I was running over 60psi out in Vegas and still had issues keeping the tires spinning. You can hear all the clutch kicking in this video. You can also see the crash in the video haha

I have them they ride great, not that stiff. I commute 60 miles a day and I love them.

Yes they are a little stiff but to me they are really not that bad. I dont really daily my car its my stric drift car. As far as my drift knob it works great for me this whole season til the very last event i noticed the cable must be streched out some cause i had to adjust it alot to work like it use to. Not really a big deal to me cause this winter im doing a hydro e brake and dual caliper system.
