My Camaro "70" LS3+T56 Track & Drifting, Lot of pics and vids

[Vince@Meanstreets]

Nice ride, interesting body to use too. Most drifters like bodies you can easily get replacement parts for but more power to you.

there's a couple closet drift guys in here but not to many.

Why not stick with the leafs. My understanding is you need a beefy rear suspension...ie type that doesn't bend easily and has has a relatively low roll center.

Either way you go please keep us updated.

I assume that i can get more traction with 4 links, would be lighter and most important easier to setup for different tracks, when leafspings own sprinrate and damping action mess coil-overs setup a bit. Alltough with IRS setup it would be better when entering normal track races.

Now i have few leafs removed from packs and coilovers with relatively soft springs, i can setup overall springrate to correct(ish) level thatway, changing springs to coilovers.

Leafsprings doesn´t make setting shock absorbers that easy, since they have their own ability to do that.

Roll center, i don´t understand much about that area.

And sorry if my english sucks a bit, i´m from Finland. Hope you understand all...
Bodyparts, those are relatively cheap comparing to Jap cars, many guys drive JDM cars in here, when you need something in those, it sucks. And i´ve allways wanted to do these things litlle different than everyone else, makes also easier to get sponsors.

Got you, I forgot the detail that you wanted to use the car for different raing formats.

Checkout Heidts, they have a nice IRS system
