will do, as soon as i get a minute to do so or remember to do so lol

but the pbm angle kit will definitely give u more angle, the inner tie rods r much more minor, if u have the money for the angle kit tho i would go that route bc its way more sick, if they dont come with spaced inner tie rods u can always add the megans cus theyre cheap

@campy, go through my build thread.

I used Megan inners on mine. Definitely not as much lock as the PBM Kit, but the Megan inners provide enough for the lower power these cars have.

You can go PBM and wisefab all day, but if you don't have the power to keep the wheel speed up, it won't matter cause you'll just lose drift or your arc will get extremely tight and you won't be able to stay on the correct line

I checked, but most of the images in your thread don't load for me, and the only ones that did load have the wheels straight.

From what I gathered, was your car around 200whp? I'm at around 260 right now and I feel as though I have more than enough power.

Yes. Only the last few pages of pictures will load. From around page 11 and up should be fine. The rest were pulled from my old fb account.

Anyone ever had issues with wheel hop while on ebrake?

Stance coils set full stiff
215/40/17's
DBA 3000 rotors with Hawk DTC pads
Ebrake adjusted for quick engagement.

Wheels lock, but I can literally feel the inside bouncing as I toss the car. Super distracting, as i think i'm going to break shit. I have never had this issue with any car.

Chillemall · 08-04-2015, 05:37 PM

Did some driftering.

It was fun.

Prolly my last drift event. I have a lot more fun at track days. Drifting is sweet and all and I will still go hang out and watch my pals, but i like to go really fast. I'm also really competitive. Drifting doesn't really fill that bucket up for me.

Not bashing it at all, as i love it. Just want to focus on track days with this car, as well as my S13 that I plan on competing in TT classes with.

Man that looked like a blast! Wish we had a more easily accessible/affordable track like that to drift at. Guess I should be fortunate we have anything at all around here.

I've done both, doesn't matter.

Has anyone in here had any real experience with the megan tie rods? Debating on getting them for their claim of a little added angle. I've seen a few threads that mentioned getting them/having a few more degrees of lock but no real definitive info/reviews/personal thoughts on them.

While the car has "enough" lock, I've had quite a few situations with our local layout which is a wide sweeper that narrows down to a "hairpin" of sorts. YOu have to carry quite a bit of angle and speed to get it and there seems to be a fine line with the twins in regards to angle and not being able to bring it back. Hoping maybe something that can give me just a bit more would help.

If you're looking for an inexpensive way to add steering angle, then this is the way for sure but I would also recommend taking off the front sway bar to get the full use of the Megan inners. It definitely makes the car less snappy when transitioning and just way more fun when drifting
