My work mate has just bought himself a toyota tuereno apex (white & black one, hmm wonder where he got that idea from?)

He wants to start drifting, but he needs to get some suspension, etc for it, but he is having trouble trying to find bits & bobs for it anywhere.

Could any of you excellent drifty people with ae86s be able to inform me as to where to pur-chase the suspension to drift with please?

Thanks muchly :thumbs:

Dunno, fensport dont offer much in the way of good suspension sadly. For other stuff, they are pretty good tho..

Ideally, you want Tokico HTS Short Stroke Dampers and TRD Japan Springs (I can advise spring rates but its all down to preferance, they also arent low enough for me but its nothing you cant solve with an angle grinder.). I would show him the technical section on www.club4ag.com, it has a nice write up abot HTS's and the front strut mods that need to be done to run them. You can get HTS's from www.stageoneimports.com if i remember rightly, but you dont want the Techno Pro Spirits HTS as they seem to be a somewhat watered down version. Thats a basic setup anyway, ideally you should convert your front struts to coilovers for the future and get some Cusco/Tein/T3 Camber Plates up front. Another place worth checking out for custom products is www.battleversion.com and www.technotoytuning.com.

That and fensport should get him going :)

Paz is the GURU for 86's :nod:

I'm still waiting for an 'oil cooler' I ordered from Fensport 2 weeks ago (it broke when the old engine blew :( )

I'm still waiting for Kiki to get back to me with a price on a set of rear HTS dampers (this was a while ago), in the mean time I bought a set of Koni's from Fensport :ghey:

He says when its was having its mot done he found out it has some cusco LSD & that all it does is drift on any corner, it caught him out twice, luckily there was no-one around at the times :eek:
