Basic Drift Chassis Setup by Mike Kojima - Part 1

http://www.motoiq.com/magazine_artic...up-part-1.aspx

"2011 Formula D Champion, Dai Yoshihara's car has some really exotic parts in the suspension but much of it is off the shelf stuff that anyone can buy."

"When adjusting your coilovers do not commit the cardinal sin of suspension set up. Don’t lower your car too much. Some lowering is good; lowering a lot is not unless the car is designed to be super low which costs a lot of money, money that is better spent on other things on a grassroots budget. Most coilovers are shorter bodied and designed to be run lower than stock but try to avoid the hellaflush slammed to the ground look. Remember if you have read this far you probably do care that you car works well."
