Nissan 240SX Drift Parts - Modifying The Suspension - Super Street Magazine

Drifting is all about balance. Balanced mind, body and soul - and of course a balanced car is important too! The biggest enemy of any drift car is suspension slop and as you'll notice there are lots of parts on the market designed to stiffen up your drift mobile. These parts allow you to dial in your alignment settings and minimize deflection to allow the suspension to work at its full ability. Camber, caster, toe, roll center, steering angle and more can be tuned. Once the chassis has been properly equipped the next issue is getting power to the rear wheels smoothly. This is where the help of a beefy clutch setup and 1.5 or 2-way LSD come in. Whether you drive a Nissan, Toyota or Mazda we've got parts to help you slide!
