Re: Camaro makin an impact on drift scene!
yes sir! i got alota tips. luckily for us theres a ton of aftermarket parts to choose from! my drift setup is my road race/autox setup so whatever fits your driving style will work for you too! the only differance between my car and you guys's is my transmission, steering box, control arms, and rear end, the motor is a 355 smallblock with a drag cam in it good for maby 400 crank hp. Honestly right now im looking for more power, my engine setup is super basic, solid cam roller rocker, and patriot heads (america woot) and a craigslist edelbrock torquer intake i got for 25 bucks!

Re: Camaro makin an impact on drift scene!
i use stockcar products springs. the nascar style ones that you order what size the spring is (height and diamater and spring rate) as for shocks i have adjustable koni's and adjustable panhard bar so that the rear is striaght when lowered. as far as steering goes i had to do some fabrication to get it to steer as much as it does. totally worth it though. but no need to rush anyone, as you can still learn a ton without the extra angle.

Re: Camaro makin an impact on drift scene!
Also to custom fab the steering i had to make room for the brakes (when you turn past lock the brake calipers (1le) rub on the control arms when the suspension travels. the Turn 1 steering box that i had custom built for me has 45 degrees steering angle which is plenty. i also had to do a couple other crazy things with control arms to get that 45 degres of angle that my car has.. and also regaruding steering angle. a stock camaro has arond 28-29 degrees steering angle. if you drill out the rivits on the back of the control arm on the steering stop you can get about 36 out of it which is one heck of a differance!! there are many ways to get more steering, espeically if we could find someone who could make us custom pitman arms that were longer, and if we could find someone who could make us custom tubular control arms that were both narrower lighter, and gives car a wider stance and more camber. I mean i did all that once on my car. but it would be alot easier with better technology. althought mine do the job just fine. its just hard to replicate.

Re: Camaro makin an impact on drift scene!
How is that done?
Is it pretty easy?
The way you made it sound it seems like a pretty easy upgrade that big of a differance.

Re: Camaro makin an impact on drift scene!
yeah it seems to be. the only thing is take in consideration where the brake line is at full lock, in some cars you need to relocate the 10mm bolt that holds the line to the k member over. either that or get longer stainless braided lines. i have a pic of it somewhere if anyones curious, i think.
