thanx for the info... another question everytime i brake hard i hear like a slamming sound in the back i was told it meant that the bushing were bad can someone confirm that and if so what is the price that i am looking at to change all 4 bushings thanx.

[Silvia_San]

honestly without knowing what car it is i have no idea how much random 4 bushings would cost.

[ganju]

sorry about that 95 240sx and i was thinking it was the strut busings dont really know what exavtly it is

[Silvia_San]

sounds more like your subframe bushings or diff mount bushings but without seeing it idk.

[ganju]

thanx do you think it is wise to use energy suspension polyutherane bushing or nismo

thanx do you think it is wise to use energy suspension polyutherane bushing or nismo

yeah thats fine

[ganju]

thanx for the info

[Silvia_San]

no problem man

for real beginner. decent shocks and spring set up. this shouldn't cost you anymore than like $500\600.

and if u decide to spend a little more. go with coilovers.

but coilovers i repeat, are NOT necesary. just ask yourself. are you really thinking of going pro? or doing lots of events? that's the question u should be asking to yourself, not really what is the best set up. your set up depends on your goals.

so does anyone have decent suspension for a s14 they are selling for a decent price thanx for everyone's comment it really help

First suspension upgrades should be:
Tie Rod Boots (they'll be cracked)
Subframe spacers (Megans are good and cheap, stock bushings will be shot)
TC rods (stock ones will be leaky)

Stock shocks and springs are plenty for a beginner. When you get to the point where body roll is scrubbing off speed you need to hold your line, upgrade to a used street coilover setup (shock and spring aren't worth the money when coilovers are only a little more and much better)

FYI, the only things you need for a solid drift car are:
1 - Good working stock equipment
2 - Racing seat
3 - Coilovers
4 - LSD

learn on stock in the rain

when you break something
thats what you upgrade

i like that funk

i agree with funk, i also think stock you will learn better than if you go crazy and get good parts too fast. plus, stock you should be able to street drift about whatever you want, only being limited in slower speeds if you have open diff.
