Trev Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 but by it liftin the front up it wuld increase rear grip n reduce front grip allowing faster exit speeds without trac loss.. isnt it desinged more so for grip rather den drift..? Sorry but I don't understand what you just said, it seems like you asked me a question and then just answered it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shayden Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 lol I'm thinkin out loud n yeah i think i did answer the question that has bein on my mind for a while now lol, but basically for drift set up leave the stock front sway bar and change rear sway bar to larger dia.? is dat correct?

I dunno, I just thought with drifting you make your suspension as hard and low as you can, put your wheels on a 45 degree angle and run a 4 inch tyre on a 10 inch rim so you can skid.

BlueKsev Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) A bigger diametre front swaybar will usually promote understeer if the rear isn't upgraded as well. And, since i put the 19mm one in the back of mine, it does seem a lot happier to let the back come out. Used to understeer all the time if you really threw it in, but i have done a few other things since then so i couldn't say it was all the swaybar. Edit: this is for rear wheel drives though, maybe for Trev with front wheel drive it's different Edited January 2, 2012 by BlueKsev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet it had more to do with poorly setup suspension and you using a swaybar to try to compensate it but made it worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueKsev Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 It was standard when it did that. With wheels aligned to the standard specs. And standard height, so yeah i guess you could say it was poorly setup. Take that up with Toyota though mate. And the swaybar has made it a lot better too its probably the best thing i've done to it so far but a lot has changed so i couldn't really say much.

Trev Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Why so much hate though? I don't hate the sport, I just hate the way it has changed in the last 5 years, if you are not a drifter then you aren't cool and if you are a drifter it gives you a free pass to go and be a dickhead on the road, the attitude from some of them these days is pathetic, I was once trying to put a car together to get into it but I am over it, I even stopped going out and watching it as much as I used to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fair enough, everyone has there own opinions I guess, but you can't stereotype all of us... Not all of us ggo be dickheads on the roads, I'm into the drift seen as much as anyone else but I don't mind the 4wd scene or minitruckin scene either... I guess you have just looked at the small majority of "drifters" that are idiots on the roads or think there better then everyone else cause they have a locker and drift... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually found rollaclub by being out at QR at a driftzone session and seeing a group of cars in the carpark with the sticker on them.
