hi guys, would like some input for my new setup.

for 2012 Ill be running 17x10 with 235/40/17 R1R up front
and 18x10.5Nt03 with a 245/40/18 direzza z1
the car is a 04 so ap2, running Bc BR coilovers, spc rear camber bolt

Car is daily driven in the city but mostly out of town in the twisties, Im planning on going to a track day or 2 this summer
But im looking for a set up who will mostly oversteer but would be predictable, since i really like drifting
i had some shitty front tires (215/35/18) last year and was suffering from really bad understeer the reason why i went with a meaty 17 tires up front for 2012...

Most drift car run more camber up front then the rear.
I will get an alignment as soon the ride height is dial in
i was thinking about running -3 all around or maybe -3.5 front and -2.50 rear
what you think ?
what about the running the coil at the stiffest setting in front and a bit softer in the back,
what about sway bars, is ap1 sway bar or no rear sway bar would help for what i wanna do ?

thanks in advance...

Run my00 rear sway. Run crap all season tires in the rear. Set coils in rear to full hard and front to full soft. Prepare to oversteer everywhere.

lol i still want to car to be drivable, Im not an expert in setting but know what you just said will make the car handle like a old mustang lol its not what im looking for...

What he said. There are too many ways to attack this to get into. How an auto-x wants oversteer vs a road racer vs (not really sure how to define you). Sign up for lapping, learn the car. Adjust based on your budget and needs. You may find a simple toe adjustment can do the job.

Surprised you are running a 10" wheel in front as a DD and not rubbing the LCA

Generally speaking for good handling you set front cambers higher than rears.
for drift it's even more true.

tires wise i think you're at reasobale shape already for street drift.

but if you're in love with drifting - you've picked a wrong car.
you should be looking at BMW's or Silvia's

max out camber front and rear
full stiff in the rear
all season tires in the rear
60psi in rear tires
disconnect front sway bar
slide or die.

^I'll add to that:

Toe out in the front.
0 toe rear.

ill be running 17x10+18 so i should not have any issue rubbing on the lca

so far with all the info ive read and my personal experiences,
im thinking about starting with max out front camber,-2.5 rear,
rear coil on stiffest setting, front half way (16 clicks)
0 toe rear,1/8 toe out front
wont touch the sway bar..
Ill try that and make adjustment front there !

hopefully it should still handle pretty good, and be easy to control sideways...
