Since my car is giving me hell with my nitrous set up im going to leave that alone for sometime and going to buy a coilover set just woundering whats a good drift set up. I was thinking about the NEX coilovers what do you guys think
ROTOROCKS TURBO WILL COME SOON

 

I've never drifted the 8, but I can do some nice figure 8's totaly stock w/o much of any body roll. A good LSD is normally all you need to drift.

 

I like this b/c you can control them form inside the car

i havent got them yet but i plan to soon !

how do you feel about the NEX coilovers

 

dont know much about them and i cant find much on them so i have no clue

 

im looking for best bang for the buck i really dont care if i have too ajust them myself lol

 

LSD cost ?

 

ahem. if you want cheap but quality coilover, go tein basic. 600 bucks. nex are the suk.

 

are they good for drifting

 

whats' wrong with your diff? how often do you participate in drift events? if you just want to replace it with a 2-way LSD. Kaaz and Carbonetic (ATS-Across) makes 'em.

 

a total of about 20 times im a noob but i get her sideways but i have to go much faster then most to get there

 

ic, my car is still on GF210 (tanabe) + stock shocks so i can't recommend a coilover. I might upgrade eventually, but my current setup does the job =)
have you replaced your sway bars? have you played with the alignment? what kind of tires are you using? clutch kicker?

 

everything is pretty much stock but for the intake and my turboxs with race midpipe and im still on my stock 18s

 

i have the basics with 2.5 degrees negative camber (back some my previous 3), and i have no problem getting the back out in a very controlled way, if that's what you mean.

 

You cant buy skill, just go practice with the car the way it is. Then try to pin point problems and fix them. Build the car around your driving style. You are going to need a nice amount of $$$ for tires anyways.

 

im lucky free tires used but free

 

ima be rocking d2 coilovers unless i get the cash and get some stance coilovers.
look at d2's new there around 900 and its a pretty good midlevel coilover. Ksport is pretty chill to.

2way is a must our current lsd is alright but a 2way feels so much better and doing snap backs will be alot smoother.

also for cheap track wheels go with 5zigen FN's.
17 x 10.5 all around is what ima be rocking. nice low offsets so i can slam the car and sit it flush.
ofcourse you need decent tire

and look at upgraded sway bars and strut bars.

im a big clutch kicker so im getting a stronger clutch soon. i only use ebrake when i ebrake correct when im oversteering.

also one thing alot of beginners forget or never learn are controlled donuts.
im not talking about make the car do a half spin and it stalls out the rest of the spin

go to a big parking lot. put a cone in the middle and your objective is to initiate the donut and counter steer and keep the car controlled and sideways around the cone. it will take practice and tire but its worth it. oh and do them to the left by the way its easier with the stock lsd.

just gas initiate and counter pretty quickly. play with the gas and clutch gently and just steer and counter when you need to.

 

Tein Coilover damper FLEX final

 

This is like your 4th thread in a few days.

 

hehehe... sounded like a porttion of the drift bible
...also, how do you correct oversteering using your ebrakes? just curious 'cause I normally use that when I feel that the car is understeering and lastly, with the RX8's LSD, I don't think it would matter if your doing donuts to the left or to the right... not to me at least.
