180SX understeer and hopping

[nigey00]

the best way to guage yer pre load on the springs is to jack the front of the car up and try turn the spring on the coilover by hand!! if you can just turn in then yer right and this is how the coilovers should be used.....

Castor can also effect understeer on d car... are you running adjustable castor rods or standard....

Setting a car up at the front for drifting is completly different than for grip drivin.... i should know... i've had enough experiance with both....

negative camber on the front is good.... no more than 3degrees though with an sr20.... with the extra weight up front of my car im currently running -5deg.... seems to be workin well and also helps seein as i aint running an arb...

what do you mean about the tyres dude,you ran r888s on the back?im assuming the nankangs arent the mud and snow type lads run on a twincam?had some scary experiences up the sally gap with them all round on a cam!
how much castor do you run?

it means the only tyre for grip on a drift car is a good track tyre pirellis etc in my eyes just dont seem to cut it i ran 888s all round today for grip driving

castor i pulled it as far forward as i could get it

ill try do that with the spring, probably after this flood tho im not getting under my car in this.
its has standard castor arms so thats all normal but the shocks are really hard so that could be it but i'll check everything i can, thanks for the advice, good to have an expert for this type of info. im sure ill have something else for ye in a month or 2
