RMKS13

Hey folks,

I was just wondering what a good drift setup would be for my 240sx hatch. I was looking at dropping in an SR20DET (and modding exhaust, etc. for the new engine), getting TEIN SuperStreet coilovers, and getting 17" rims with low profile tires for a basic setup.

One of my big issues at the moment are the rims and tire combo. I'd like to get the best performance out of my dollar since I'm on a budget, and I was looking at getting 5Zigen FN-01RC rims with Kumho 712 tires. The thing is, I'm not sure whether to run a staggered setup with 205/45s on 17x7" in front and 235/45s on 17x8" in the rear or to run a straight 17x7" setup all around.

I've heard mixed things where a staggered setup will be the best drift setup, providing traction for the higher HP/torque of the SR20, and would fill the wheelwells a bit better. Another person told me that having the wider tires in the rear will promote understeer in the front tires, as opposed to the desired oversteer.

1) Any thoughts on the staggered vs consistent rim setup?
2) Are there any other tire names I should look at?
3) Any other coilover systems I should consider?
4) Is the SR20DET a better choice than the RB25DET for drift because of its lighter weight?

Thanks,

Jay
