The OFFICIAL drift setup thread
#1726
Man, how are some of you guys getting so much camber. Does everyone slot their tophats?
I want to say I'm moderately lowered on rebled/tinkered with Megan coilovers, but could only manage -1.7* camber on one side, and -2.0* on the other. I assume something may be bent on my car, but i'm still maxing out at -2*.

I slotted my PBMS. You can slot the upper camber mount at the strut tower or slot the upper hole on the lower mount (to the knuckle) using a round file. Slotting the lower mount is more worth it for the effort.
Picture to show the camber. Extended ball joints are a good option though!

I bought mine from Villians; they're based out of Oregon. I tried extending mine, but ended up melting the plastic bushing inside of them, so this was the most economical option.
They actually have super cheap angle kits if you don't have the means to fab anything yourself.

I shortened my knuckles and extended my outer tie rods. I'm running 17x8.25's at about 55 degrees, and i have about 1/2" of clearance from the frame. I want to throw my 17x9 spares on and run way more tire if i can, but i want to change my KPI by modifying my coilover sleeves. I'd def be rubbing with those bigger wheels.
I'd rather not throw on huge spacers and increase my scrub radius for the sake of angle and tire. However, increasing my KPI is going to affect my rate of camber change while turning.
Then again, I haven't been drifting long enough to really know if having a minimal scrub radius matters.

Nope, I just purchased the extensions.

Did you modify your tie rods at all for it?

So I’ve been looking for an angle kit for my s5 rx7 but it seems like people only make angle kits for s4’s, have any advice for me?

Been a long time since I have posted on this forum but have you guys seen the kit we have on pre-order over at SLRspeed. Fully bolt on kit that has adjustable ackermand, roll center correction and bolt on outer balljoints that increase track by 100mm overall?
Its pretty sweet. Anyways just FYI

Anyone know what it actually looks like? The pic on SLR's site is not the FC kit. Same pic as the BMW kit, no ball joint spacer pictured...
about time someone made a bolt on setup like the GK one for s chassis
