Drift car setups

[CRASH]

I was just wondering how drift cars were exactly setup. Like wheel cambers, suspension setups, swaybars, LSD setups anything basicly.

[Ris4drift]

what car?

generally you want somewhat stiff suspension, stiffer in rear than front, a couple degrees negative camber.

Like the guy said above thats pretty general. It gets down to tires, weight and what kind of car.

[CRASH]

well what about a typical setup for an FC and a 240sx?

Keep in mind different people have different driving styles so its goign to basicly be different from person to person.

GENERALLY

Youll find 2 people, those who like to use understeer for drifting, and those who use oversteer.

basicly, a stiffer rear then the front (Within reason of course) will creat oversteer, and cause the car to naturally want to tuck into the corner.

on the other hand, a stiffer front then rear will promote a bit of understeer, and youll have to force the car more to tuck in.

Oversteer is usually and typicaly easier, especialy for learners since the car as said, naturally comes in.

The most basic LSDs are the 1.5 way, and the 2 way

1.5 way is usually easier for new commers to drifting, with the 2way being harder but often better for drifting. 1.5 to most allows much easier (thogh often not as flashy) exits.

Another thign ot think of is camber, usually people will add negative camber up front, this is when the top of the tires point "in". When cornering a car leans, if your tires are flat your goign to lose traction while cornering. Adding camber helps you to keep traction and control while cornering to an extent.

Ive also seen some people use a lot of camber for the rear, to a poitn where it doesnt help at all in terms of traction in the rear and actually gives less traction in the rear while cornering, thus making it a little easier to get the back end out.

Hoped this helped some
