which suspension mod is next?

[mrayburn240sx]

i have coilovers, a vlsd, and a rear strut bar. Which few suspension mods should i do next for a good drifting car? i was thinking rear sway bar or rucas? how important is good rucas? Your imput is appreciated thanks...

ohh and ive replaced the front sway bar bushings with polyurithane bushings, and replaced one of the tie rods a while ago. I kind of wanna focus on the rear of the car that being said what are the most important suspension mods i can do next in the rear?

It probably won't hurt to start replacing a good amount of the suspension parts. I don't know what year your car is, but those parts are probably 15+ years old. =]

If those are your choices at the moment I would probably go for the rucas.

I agree......

I would get a full Energy Suspension bushing kit, and new steering components (tie rods, etc)....that would be a great start with a world of difference

Before I slide my car I plan to replace at least most of the old suspension. I'm probably just being paranoid, but it couldn't hurt.

I'd probably start out with bushings (as said above), and then new control arms, tie rods, etc etc.

i agree with everything above. new sway bars (maybe godspeed) and rucas would be my first choices.not to threadjack, but how would i know which bushings to replace if i bought the energy suspension bushing kit?

[danielsan]

the kit has instructions and tells what bushings go where. i had them on my 90 integra and it was easy as cake.

a decent lsd if your drifting. vlsd wont do crap.

Grab a Nismo Power Brace or the brace from Jonnie Fraz in our Fabricator's Market section.

if you're building a drift car, you DON'T want to get polyurethane Energy bushings. Bushings, whether they be rubber or polyurethane or whatever soft compound, is made for better handling, comfort, and grip. For a drift car, you're gonna want to get the stiffest suspension available, which means replacing the rubber bushings with METAL (pillowball ends). In your case, you're gonna want to get adjustable arms (which replaces oe arm bushings anyways). Start out with the basic arms needed for a proper alignment: rear upper control arms, rear toe, tension control arms, inner /outer tie rods (the one with the spacer on the rod ends). Also, get aluminum subframe spacers, and replace the subframe bushings with solids if you need to.

and get rid of that vlsd. find yourself an open diff and weld it (or if you have money, go with a 2way lsd)
