Between the two track events the only differences were the rear spring rate and the switch from moldy junkyard tires to somewhat newer (but still used) tires.

Episode 3 was when we installed the new spring rate which made a significant effect on the handling in drift.

And by rear spring we mean front, the rear rates still need to be stepped up a bit.

Steering angle and lower ride height are on the way soon!!

btw, how come you guys dont have subframe connectors welded up? I didnt see any in the video, those make a night and day difference in the car.

We are going to do through the floor subframes, but not until after we get a cage in the car.

DV19,

it is my understanding that you run the racecraft spindle setup. How have those worked for you?

No, we run stock Mustang spindles that we have modified ourselves...
I know that they have started to make some for roadracing applications that a few guys are R&Ding for them.... From what I've heard, they are nice pieces that appear to be strong enough for the task...

This very cool, it's like a full build thread.
Can't wait to see more!
I wish we had this kind of traffic at Domestic Drifting.

jerm-
generally if you shorten the distance by cutting and welding from where the tie rod end mounts to the spindle will yield a faster turn and more angle.

Ive seen other ppl do that, but looking at sn95 spindes its rather impossbile cause if it foes any further out its just hitting the rotor

Unlike a 240 a mustang is a front steer design with lower A-arms. The limiting factor in steering angle is not steering rack travel, it is caliper to control arm and wheel to control arm interfearance. This can only really be resolved with a custom lower control arm.

Once the rack become the limiter removing the rack spacers, and modifying the inner tie-rods is your next step.

Only once you have done both of those should you have to modify the spindle/steer-arm.

We are changing spindles in order to lower our car more, they will not add any steering angle.
