Shocks/springs for drift setup...
Guest
Posts: n/a
I was going with GC coilovers, and a set of Illuminas, but that being almost 700 bucks for suspension... I dunno if I want to burn that much..
I found a set of springs/shocks from Tokico, non adjustable HP's for 350 bucks, new. How would this setup work out for the occasional drift session?

sounds cheap and progressive. Not exactly what you want for drifting. You are better to:
A look for a used setup like RSR race sprigns and AGX's
B look for used coilovers
C wait and save up. and pratice in parkinglots with stock sus until then.

i just got agx's for the s14 and I love them. great buy.
is this for the z? if so, trailing arm sus sux! can you say "squat"?
mk2's have it too.

dude go buy a set of shocks first. if you have to just cut your stock springs but you'd see the most change with a nice set of new shocks/ struts!! buy the illumina's first then whatever else.

fiorst off 700 for suspension is cheap.
240sx people that are really set for drift routinely spend 1200-1800 on coilovers, if they want them to be of highest quality.
aragostas are like $3500.
secondly, due to the suspension in the rear (semi trailing arm) it needs to be very stiff to limit the amount of travel because it affects camber so harshly.

just get the non adjustable HPs for $350, if its only for the time to time drift, u dont need adjustable suspension.

psffttt i am not so fond of my ground control / agx combo... first off i didnt completely slam my car in the rear... max like 2 inch drop... ended up blowing the rear agx's... thats a few trackdays, street drifting, 1 autox, and 2 drift days... honestly please just save for a real set up...
but if you must have some sort of suspension now, and are just gonna be lightweight drifter/autox... i would say go with the agx's and rsr springs... i know they were pretty damn nice on matt chin;s car ... and i think regina has em too??
