Ok i already installed cusco os strut bars,the energy suspension bushings master set will be install soon,along with the metal subframe bushings.

MY question: what else should i install on my s13 to make it more stable for autocross/drifting.

I think i might install some sway bars, suspension technique, in the future.

Is there any thing else that's nessary.

I'm not sure what kind of shocks & springs you've installed on your car, but I'd suggest doing something about the stock units if you haven't already. (couldn't tell from your post)As for what brand. . . well, talk to your wallet. lol.

If you do end up lowering your car, though, it would be nice to have an adjustable upper control arm, and a tow control arm.up front, it'd be nice to have a TC rod w/ a spherical bearing. I've heared of ppl that use the polyurethane TC bushings having problems with their TC rod and/or lower control arm. It's caused by torsional flexting exerted on the TC rod from the movement of the lower arm. When you have a rubber bushing, it's not a problem since the rubber flexes, but when you install the much harder polyurethane one, it CAN cause problems.

In order to alleviate this problem, I've seen some ppl drilling holes into them to allow for some flex, but I'd rather go w/ spherical bearings than to chance it on guesstimation.

BTW, Dont' worry, it's only the TC rods that have this problem. None of the other arms should have any problems.

I would like to do Auto-X, what size sway bars are good for grip driving? I've seen the Largus setup and they are HUGE @ 31.5mmFront and 28mmRear. Sounds real nice but, is this overkill. Are these better for grip or drift? These were posted on tougefactory.com . They also have a steering collar bushing replacement I'm curious about, if anyone know or has heard write in.

also if you lower your car, you should definately invest in some NRCA's, to correct the geometry of the lower cars after bieng dramaticly lowered
