Body roll

[Nevesy]

Ok so basically I had my first drift practice yesterday and it was the most fun I have had in ages! The 340 didnt miss a beat unlike many other cars there, although a slight miss-hap with said lowering block but I wont go into that.

My problem lies with the 18 year old suspension and general roll the car has, I have read that some of you have some koni shocks on the rear, and other suspension setup, what is the stiffest out there and is there anything in the form of strut braces ect or do they have to be custom one off's?

Thanks in advance

Body roll on a standard 340 must be wild, I have uprated springs and dampers and still the body roll is way too distinct on a track....


Classic swede on here has a lot of useful bits like: Stiffer spring, adjustable rear dampers, and different poly`s..

Whiteline are selling 27mm front swaybars..

Cheers for that Nikdev, yeah the body roll is insane, at one point the car hopped off the floor, still great fun though!

Hi Nevesy,

I do also drifting the 340. Havent done much yet, but do have it on koni's complete. Try to find the one's with spring (for the rear):



The koni dampers are adjustabel, stiff enough. (even that stiff, you don't can get them out anymore )

Still have some whish list:
I think I'm gonna try a double leafspring on the back, because the suspension isn't stiff enough yet. Plus a stiffer swaybar on the back.

You'll want the front to be a litte soft, because of the oversteerreaction. Standard springs whith koni dampers again are a very nice upgrade. (like I have at the mo) However, a littlebit more stiff springs on the front is welcome.
