which would be the best quality springs for drifting???
and or for a daily driving rx7

 

Save and get coilovers, it will be worth it the long run.

EDIT: I drift on stock suspension right now since Im learning. Just get used to the car, the e-brake, clutch kicks and what not. Then look into mods.

Suspension is king when it comes to drifting. A well put together suspension package will net you longer drift with more angle and better control of your car. This goes well beyond just struts/springs of even coilover setups. I do always recommend that you get coilovers over a strut/spring combo. You are limited to what you can accomplish with the S/S over the coilovers. The dampening for rebound is fully adjustable in most coil setups, where most of your S/S combos will be roughly around the same price as a set of Tien drift or even Stance coils. Also, you will have to shell out more money for adjustable camber plates and get NO ability to adjust ride height or spring preload.

Now, along with saving and investing in a good set of coilovers, you will also want to eliminate your DTSS. This will give you a firmer feel of the rear end, and lessen the chance of the car TRYING to strighten itself out or not break the rear loose.

Since most of our cars are 18+ years old, I also highly reccommend gettin a complete bushing set for the suspension, upgrade engine mounts and tranny/rear diff mounts.

There are many more upgrades you can do for suspension, but your looking at getting into more and more money. Dependant on what your goal is, be it a daily driven car that you can go have fun (In a controlled and legal enviroment) you can pretty much follow the above and be happy.

If you plan on getting into competitions you def want to get into obtaining more angle from the front wheels. Super NOW and other companies make great kits. You could also get in contact with Eyecandy (secret element) about his super angle inner tie rods. Also look into bump steer outter tie rods. More angle with the front wheels will also help with getting more angle in your drift.

There is more you can do for suspension, but Im pooped. I would be more then happy to get a nice write up for this section sometime this week, and anyone else with good drifting/suspesnion setups feel free to chime in and Ill work it into a write up.

Peace,

i highly appreciate your comment and the effort put into it and all of the said will definately be put into consideration
thanks again!
:]

 

Coilovers are always worth it, not unless its from Egay

 

Just to back it up, stay away from lowering springs for drifting. They are not stiff enough for the application. I tried it when I first started out and I didn't like it at all. I'm running the ground control setup and it's not quite coilovers but I like it a lot better.

 

I had a set of tein springs. Great for daily driving, lower the car enough, and they were pretty nice while out at the track too.

yup i got kyb agx struts with tein 1.6 " lowering springs for $200 from my friend i would definately say coilovers are the way to go but i like what i got for now for sure...

but when you can afford them MAXsuspension, tein, and megan from what i heard are all pretty good. =)

 

No more Kei Office. It would be under the name DG-5 now. Which is what Justin P. runzzzzzzzzzz.
