What size and what overall height though? I didn't do that much searching, I just looked at a couple different tires on tirerack to see what they had in 20s and pretty much all of them were over 26" tall. Which I guess you could fit, but it would look stupid unless you were tucking most of the...

Yeah, you're going to have trouble finding tires that will work with 20s on these cars.

On old stock spring, I wouldn't be surprised if they were slightly different in height. Now imagine if you measured the rate on them, how closely do you think they would match? And a 2% difference in height really isn't that bad considering what they are. Tim

You're wondering if what? I still haven't measured the ST bars, hopefully this week, so I can't say anything about them. The H&R's seem like decent springs, a little stiffer than others and they will go lower. I would need to double check on the rates before I could give you any kind of...

In my opinion, a drifting and a road racing suspension should be pretty similar. But from experience, you can get away with a lot more while drifting versus road racing. Meaning a non-ideal damper can work alright for drifting especially at the non-pro level. I'm hoping to see some more FD...

I don't think so. This is a 9.5+12 with a 235/40 on a rolled fender with a little overall pull, not much though. So I don't think a 9.5+22 would fit with a 265. And if you're running a higher ride height, it's just going to stick out more and look worse. You could run a decent bit...

TRD springs are pretty soft right? That's probably why. I don't think I ever tried drifting the car on stock springs or close to stock rate, but I know from driving it around, that it's not something I would want to do.

Spherical bearings are the way to go for a race car but they will take more work than just new bushings. I'm working on designing pretty much all the arms right now and using rod ends/spherical bearings and fully adjustable. Depending on what the rest of the bushing is made out of they...

What are these other steering extensions you're trying besides my spacers? Depending on what they are, I might not suggest using both at the same time. My spacers are meant to be used with stock tie rods. And how much power are you making and what wheels/tires are you going to be using...

What do you mean? In terms of spring rate? I've used 1000lb/in front, 600lb/in rear. But this is on a 3000lb supra with my dampers on it. I don't know if those rates will work for you or with the Koni dampers. Tim

You're going to need to make some compromises if you want the same suspension to be used on a daily driver as on a car that will do some road racing. So you would have to determine what your NVH limits are for daily driving and then pick something that you can live with on the street and that...

Well something sounds weird. The front spring/damper move less than the rear with the same amount of wheel travel. Are the right springs on the right end of the car? What do you mean dead coils? You could use helper springs but you might have to get a shorter main spring or if there's...

I don't think you're getting it. The path of the wheel is determined by the suspension geometry. It needs to go this way. Trying to constrain it from moving in that direction with solid bushings is one of the worst things that you can do. Spherical bearings will keep the geometry and allow...

No, the rear has an arc that it follows as well. And for a race car, I would go with spherical bearings over delrin.

I think the application that someone was talking about in terms of teflon was a teflon lining like they use in a lot of spherical bearings. Nylon and delrin don't make much sense to me either for suspension arm bushings. But I do like spherical bearings for suspension arms. The vibration...

It's not side to side movment. It's the way the arms rotate. They don't always have a constant axis that they're rotating about, if they did, then delrin would be fine. During vertical wheel travel, the wheel moves in an arc both from the front view and the side view. These two arcs are...

The lower arms could be made lower and I am considering it, but they're last on the list of arms to get done. It's just more complicated and therefore more expensive and I don't know if it would be worth the time to develop for the market. But I will take a closer look at things and see if I...

So there's a spherical bearing in there? If so, then why use delrin at all? Why not just use a metal outer sleeve? But if it's just a sleeve that goes through the middle of the delrin, you will still have the same problems that I posted above. It's not the up and down movement that the...

I did exactly the same thing and your post was at the bottom of the window and I hadn't read it yet. As for Delrin or any other harder material, I would only use it on the front and rear upper arms. I wouldn't use it on the front lowers or any of the other rear arms. Personally, I don't...

They can work. I was running 10+18 with a 235/40/18 and there was room to spare on the car. The car was decently low and running a stiff suspension, but it should still work on your car. You are going to need to stretch the tire though. I'm guessing your getting these from Sasha?
