Hello, i just put on some Megan Coil over on my 95 Zenki. How many clicks should i set my rear/front for drifting? It clicks 32 times.

Thanks,

Everybody likes their car set up differently. I would recommend starting at full hard and making adjustments from there.

Im gonna go ahead and take care of this now...

32 clicks doesnt mean squat. on most cheaper coilovers (ie: megans), the only increments youll feel are around every 8 clicks. anything outside of that doesnt do much. seeing as youre probably a novice to drifting, you will want to use harder compound tires in the rear and set your front dampers to 32 clicks and the rears to around 24. setting your damping on your coilovers also usually plays into your spring rate (the minimum you want to set your fronts AND rears is 8 clicks for daily driving! any softer and the only thing youll get is spring deflection with no damping behind it)
