Vs ute drift suspension need answers

[BoB G]

Hey everyone I own a v6 5speed 95 vs ute and was trying to get into drifting and I was just wondering if anyone had any information on suspension set ups, it’s got enough power I was just more looking for the handling mods

What are you using for your diff centre?

Don't worry about lock mods until you're actually limited by the stock geometry. The two biggest issues you're gonna face with a VS is actually finding decent suspension and the crappy hand brake. There are a few companies that make coilovers but I can't say any of the seem all that great (they all seem to do a one size fits all approach, no choice of spring rates etc...), plus the strut top mount that the VR/VS uses is kind of awkward so it's more difficult to swap another off the shelf coilover in. That and the power steering may have a tendency to overheat (just keep an eye on it and worry about it if it's a problem).

XYZ coilover kits might be a good starting point (I've never used them). Also choosing wheels with a decent width/offset with slightly more track at the front will help.

I just have the standard lsd in it but it’s throwing singles some times and IDK if I should just rebuild it or if there is a better diff centre or not wouldn’t mind some help with that too also looking for a dual calliper setup to run a hydro e-brake

Spool it if you want to drift.

If you want to continue driving on roads one of the torque lock lsd's is the go. Plumb hand brake into the feed to the rear brake lines like Decicrate has done.
