![]() A good drift car would make for a good track car. I'd want a car that does not oversteer because you're going to create oversteer with the rear tires spinning. But the use of toe-out can help that initial turn-in to get things started. You want some balance.
When I tried wide front tires and skinny rear tires because my car was underpowered, I could slide it, but it was slow and transitions were difficult because the car was easy to spin. I'd want equal tire front and rear to start, and eventually wider rear tires when power level is increased. Quote:
![]() ![]() How's your power steering....which fluid, and did you need to add a cooler? I had to switch to synthetic when I went to the middle hole on the BNE roll center spacers, but I didn't need a cooler (autocross only). |

The KL arms are 25mm wider per side, and move the ball-joint forward 15mm. I ended up plating the top and bottom after bending one at a drift day. There is light touching at full lock, may need rack limiters, or move to the middle setting. PS definitely needs a cooler. It gets HOT and the pump sounds pissed when it's a hot day. I'm currently using Redline power steering fluid, and it seems much happier with that.

![]() Don't forget to look into rear subframe upgrades. You can reinforce the stock one or buy something from Ben.

![]() I've seen Ben's name pop up in numerous threads, but was not able to pin point who is it exactly. Have a "link" to Ben? |

![]() bneshop.com is Ben. The rear subframe is a part that needs upgrading to put up with any abusive driving.
