Nice vid, I thought you were gonna lose it a few times lol, but nice control. Was that an RSX in front? He seemed to be doing pretty good.

Revive lol, total noob here im trying to setup my car for track and this thread is super helpful. Question for you guys noticing many of these setups dont have customs arms like toe, traction, camber upper etc just stock arms. Been watching alot of hot version vids 😁😁😁 and noticing same, just good coilovers and thats it, can someone chime in or explain is it not necessary? May ive been around drift world to long hahahaha.

You need to learn how the car behaves before buying all these suspension mods. Oil cooler, upgrade all fluids, brake pads and keep your fuel tank topped off or buy a cjm rrp.

I have everything, but the big one is camber arms. You'll want those if you want to avoid wearing the outer edges of your tires (and throwing away otherwise good tires prematurely). The SPL Front Camber Arms are pricey, but it's a safety item and I can't speak for the durability of other brands (though I would avoid SPC).

So what I'm getting is i should be fine with basics until i get good enough to need all the extra suspension arms etc. Getting oil cooler, buy pads, ss lines and I have coilovers now(bc racing coils came with my car) but want to switch em later for something a little better. My car is a Nismo 370z btw. Oil cooler 25 or 34 row? Should i buy slotted rotors? Car goal is street and occasional track for now.

34-row with a thermostatic plate. You can never have too much cooling! Don't bother with rotors until you wear out your stock blanks.
