The front looks a bit wrong though, Im not liking that movement at all!

Nice pic Lee!

That\'s what we could see from the stands - looks like you need to stiffen it up a bit. The "pro" drift cars were rock solid on the suspension so now you have a good excuse! :p

I cant stiffen it, so theres not much I can do about it now!  Its just right on the road though, but I can see taking it on track becoming frustrating.

what suspension setup have you got?

mine is standard and i\'m wondering how it will perform on trackdays

I thought it was adjustable - Is it only height adjust then?

I suppose you could get harder springs but then it\'s going to bit bumpier on the road.

Only height adjustable as far as im aware.

Its gas filled, so I guess you could drain the gas and refill it differently or something.

The springs are already 9 and 7, which is pretty hard although it doesnt feel it at all.  I guess maybe I looked upside down and its a 6, but as I wasnt there when it was fitted I dont know for sure.

When I used standard suspension it wasnt all that bad, but there is way too much body roll.

This ones ok, but a little boring.  It seems a lot of the people dont like taking pics of my car :(


Donato

Do you just have standard anti roll bars?

J4P RX

I would guess so.

I have HKS Hiper D coilovers, but the rest of it suspension wise is standard I think.

Nope.  These dont feel that hard.  As said on the road they feel pretty good, but on track they felt a bit soft.

Should be changing my tyres today though, and I think they hindered the feel a lot so I should be able to tell a lot more.

ARC do lots of nice suspension stuff for the 3rd gen.

I think my car used to be a drift/track car as its like a rock, and about 5 inches off the ground.

As well as the standard antiroll bars i have another arc one on each axle, the rear has stiffening bars going from the roll bar to the chassis either side of the gearbox tunnel.

I wish i had a camera so i could show you what i mean.

Believe me together with coilovers it gives me very little body roll. If you are wanting to seriously stiffen her up this could be the way to go. I planning on getting a camera soon so if you are interested i can send you picks of my setup....

The downside to this is its not road friendly at all. When you go over a pebble you know all about it! But when you go round a corner it handles like an absolute dream with very little roll.

Im also running with Ohlins coilovers...

At the moment im actually thinking about selling it.  Its still a really nice road car right now.

Its going to cost more than I can afford to spec it how I want it, no-one will ever want to buy it off me and when I crash it ill be loads of trouble due to the cost of parts.

Still thinking over my options.
