This series is the best thing since the s chassis

Can we do a just the tip on wheel speeds in drift, how can we make a wheel speed change and what are the different pros and cons of those changes?

[@speedchopwtf]

It's not just the twist of the bar. offsetting with shims effectively lengthens the pivot point from the center of the bar, much like your extra holes, but a bit finer. I didn't even know you had these. very cool!

[@alexlichliter]

Love that you are doing these kind of videos! Keep at it 💪

[@1jzfc999]

Good advice. I need to sort a front sway bar on my fc as the factory one gets in the way of the jz sump and steering kit

[@monstersquashracing]

Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Great vid boys !!!

I liked the tip about adding spacers between the end link and the sway bar.
I would need to get a different kind of end link to make that work on my current set up though. The ones I have are a ball joint style and wouldn’t have enough threads.
Would you guys sell a custom setup where the endpoints are through bolt style? I’m in an S197 Mustang with your angle kit

[@daylatedrift]

Tube has more surface area because it also has an inner wall making it stronger 🤙

[@BMXAndy1994]

How should you set up the length of the endlink.
Like if you have an adjustable endlink how should you set it up and what effect does it have shortening/ lengthening it.

Let’s say we have car drifting the same corner in 1:35
If i have high caster it will put more load in the rear left tire yeah?
So is it better to have soft ARB in the front in this case to put the load in the rear right ?

Hello, I really like watching pro tip videos. I would like to ask ,I like your Corvette setup. Last year I made a swaybar for my BMW E46 drift car. I used 28mm sollid spring material up front. But I have the original M3 swaybar at the rear. do you think it would be good to give a similarly rigid stabilizer to the rear as well, which would be connected directly to the knuckle. Maybe it would be better to make it from chromoli tube . so I'm wondering what diameter you would make it from. My Car weight about 1250 kg . Thank you Best Reggards from your fun in czech republic .

[@beartodrift5345]

How do you convert those OEM style straight thru rod sway bar end links to be adjustable pivot ones?

[@DingDongDrift]

my stock sway bar on my SC400 must be super soft because since installing the FDF angle kit and softer coilovers i still don't have very much roll in the front without a sway bar at all.

[@patricklaporte180sx]

On my 180sx i cant run a sway bar cause the custom angle kit knuckle and arm but the car handle good so i dont no if i should put one or not

[@Stature17]

Where’s the beard!!!!!

[@Psy8ern3t1k]

I have yet to install it, but I have an FDF kit for my new edge mustang, that requires the removal of the front sway bar. I think you may have updated the design for the kit since I bought mine a couple years ago. That being said, how would you set up a front sway bar on the new edge?

[@Psy8ern3t1k]

Also, in regard to the new edge: any plans to make an FDF irs kit for the new edge?

[@forthepeople8218]

Need this for g and z chassis Ngl

[@Ti__Low]

Can't concentrate on anything else than the plain face 🤣
