So I made the switch from an 89 240sx, to a 95 miata, for DD and drifting. ( and being slammed. )
240sx have some serious drift tax now and I couldn't find a decent one for cheap at all....
I know a lot about 240 suspension, almost nothing yet about the miata.
I plan on ordering some BC coils, with the extra drop option. But am wondering on rates, on a pretty limited budget so I don't want to have to experiment much. Less springs = more events and tires.
So what type of rates do people run when controllable oversteer is what you want.
I know for a more tail happy you usually want a stiffer rear than offered.
I ran 8k/7k on my 240sx, the tein ha on it originally had 8k/6k on them, but after adding subframe bushings, higher rear spring rate, and removing the rear sway bar ( front was oem )
I thought about going with a 10k/9k setup, and leave the tiny stock sway on there. or run 10/8 and upgrade sways.
So what rates/sways do people run around here for mainly a drift setup?
