yeah, about the drifting suspension. i have no clue when it comes to it for these dinosaurs. the drifting forum might be able to help you out a lot more. if it was set up for drag i could be of more use. i know quite a bit of drifters frequent this forum also, but nobody has commented yet.

if i were to do it i would go with the following (either Steeda or Griggs, both top notch)"

stiffer springs, lowering of course

invest in some caster/camber plates

bigger sway bar in the rear, eliminates body roll and keeps the car flatter, better control going sideways. thinner in the front, that way you can eliminate the understeer these cars have to begin with. you might want to try and get the police package sway bars from a junk yard and see how the idea works before throwing big money to it with the other brands. just a thought



ive done some research for you, and supposedly these cars have bad snap oversteer when you do get them to oversteer. dont really know how to fix it, maybe some torque arms or something will lessen the effects.


keep in mind im no expert by any means, but if i were to start out this would be the direction i would go
