stiffest swaybars, tie rods, toe links, trailing arms for FD
 

I'm starting to get into drifting and was wonder what underbody suspension stuff I should be doing to get the stiffest ride possible. I have been looking at swift swaybars and they seem to be pretty high quality. Not sure what toe links or trailing arms to go with... Don't know much about them. Also was thinking of maybe investing in some autoexe braces. Anyone else have any preferences on any parts please let me know. The car is pretty old and on stock bushings and motor mounts. should these also be upgraded? any help on stuff that will help stiffen up the chassis even if i haven't mentioned it will be very helpful.

does the search button not work for you? plenty of good threads on those topics already. Don't expect too many people that actually know what they are talking about to re-type the info in the existing threads.

The man asked a simple question and got bashed for it I rarely find that searching yields the right answer maybe after hours of searching but that shit getts old quick>> o yeah stop shiting in the mans thread

haha thank you. searching is kind of a pain in the ass and alot of the reason i made this post is because its more drift setup related and i have not heard and reviews on the swift sway bars. i did search and didnt find alot of what i was looking for. has anyone here used swift sway bars? also would still like opinions on everything else.

works for me. been using it for years. i find it helps when you actually read the threads. :)

Doesn't matter whether its drift related or race related. The same principles apply. If Swift sway bars are the same company as Swift springs, they generally make good quality products. Do you understand how sway bars work? Try reading the link in this thread:

It won't matter which sway bar you choose so long as they don't bend. Use the sway for fine adjustment of handling behavior and to add some roll control after you select and setup your shocks and springs.

post in drifting section; you'll get better responses there.

i really can't speak for FD's.
but i do have alot of friends who regularly attend events.

sway bars (and the rest of the stuff you mentioned) are certainly important, but they are also generally low priority relative to coilover and differential.

barring people who go stock, generally most new people start with coilovers, 2way differential and spare wheels and start attending events. i would say start there (if you haven't already), especially if you're looking to just get your feet wet.

Also not sure if you'd want to get all the Autoexe braces. From what i understand you will want some play/torsion in the chasis. I think a lot of people might have an opposite notion of drift setups. The people I know who are running good power with good skill are typically running a softer setup so they can get the car to squat and still run sticky tires in the rear. R compounds front and sticky street radials rear.

If you make the chasis too rigid and suspension too stiff it may not produce the results you are expecting. Might be good for a little bit as a beginner without much power but if you got power then you gotta set it up in a certain order and i'd definitely start with coilovers and a 2 way diff. Additionally work on obtaining more steering angle. all the other stuff is an afterthought once you're getting really comfortable.

If i'm incorrect i do apologize. i don't drift, just hear things and try to simulate it in my head.
