MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE!!!! god i cant express enough how much i love this type of videos. even its something I already know i always can learn something new from a different perspective! thank you FDF!!
Wow now I understand why the contact patch is horrible on my 190E at full lock. I have to correct the KPI a lot and adjust the camber on the knuckle instead of the shock tower. Thanks again for the videos!
These videos are really good. I have a psm kit in my fc and i tried staying with my alignment specs but using their offset spacers at the hub for camber/kpi adjustment. the wheel was flopping so aggressively to lock. Wasnt really sure how to correct it as the top hats also adjust camber and caster at the same time. I went back to my normal set up. Think i need to watch this a few more times haha
Dont know if you guys still get notification of comments but I've been watching the whole series, I don't drift but found it excellent. I'm using adjustable arms with top mounts that allow camber adjustment and I can use bolts for camber in the knuckle / strut. In my head getting 2 deg in the knuckle is beneficial as I won't increase my KPI much when setting a - 3deg static camber. I run 7+ deg caster so dynamic is still quite high.. Is this along the right lines for grip rather than using top mount alone? Big dynamic camber negatively impacts the inside wheel which so what I would get using top mount alone. I'm already running wider track through arms hubs so there's no need to drop ET for added track. Increasing KPI would result in large scrub (neg).
Excellent! So glad your doing this. Excited for ackerman effects and roll center. Be awesome to see rear grip tuning side vs fwd bite. Spent a lot of time on alignment racks playing with this and trying to explain it and often just get numbers thrown at me for alignment specs... Learning a ton thanks for sharing your wisdom \w/
I know I’m late to the party, but when you make these adjustments is it done with weight in the suspension? What I’m trying to say is the adjustments made with the wheel off the ground or is it made with the wheel on the ground carrying the weight of the car? Thanks for the vids they’re awesome!
Question around the 2:00 mark. Wouldn't increasing the lower and upper control arm length keep camber the same? If you make a trapezoid wider at the top and bottom the angle of the sides is still going to be the same, right?
Hi! Thanks for the great videos! They are truly eye-opening. But the question is, if there are any software available to present a 3D model, similar to your beautiful setup? where people can play with the lengths and other variables, and observe the resulting camber, caster, etc. angles.
What causes the top mount bearing to bind. Too much kpi? Too much caster? Kind of curious why the kit for the frs/brz goes so far away on the top mount
Hi great demonstration, at 2:45 you say that when you change the length of the lower control arm to adjust the camber, you’re changing KPI so you need to also change the length of the upper one, but won’t that negate the camber gain that lengthening the bottom one gives you?
On google search “drift car 3 wheel” go to images. You will notice that there is little to no weight on the outside front wheel. so little that sometimes it comes off the track completely.

I went to school for automotive 15 years ago and these videos are better than my ASE A4 classes.
As a general rule I'm watching these twice to fully absorb the information being shared here. Love this series!
Getting closer and closer to the super nerdy stuff!!! Love it
can't wait to see the double wishbone stuff
Awesome content! 👏👏
MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE!!!!

thank you FDF!!
Awsome videos man!!! Best ever seen!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
So well done! Great information - very knowledgeable!
Good info as usual! Can't wait to see the double wishbone suspension video !
Wish this was available years ago. Great stuff guy's. Can't wait to see more
Soo much great information 🔥🔥

you may want to wait for the caster video before you get too carried away. caster will also play a significant roll in the tire leaning at full lock.
Shouldn't the chart @ 9:49 show +5* of camber for the Lead Wheel when the KPI is 14*?
This is great stuff!!
Music made it a bit more difficult to focus on what you were saying. No music was better. Stoked for the series

Can't Believe these videos are Free so much Knowledge.
Great series of videos
Loving this thanks man! Def keen on double wishbone 😍
Great video! Can you please share some more info on the right way to adjust camber for grip? Is it better to do it at the knuckle, top or lca?

Holy crap these videos are rad! I learn so much each time and can't wait for the next ep!
learning alot each time

Yes
Not if the arms aren't parallel.
Very thankful for this kind of content! keep going
I’m learning so much from your videos 👍

another awesome video
I like the closing paraphrase Don't blame any kit till you get the hole setup right not just on.
Thank you!!

Again, awsome information!
Great content!
Super instructive! Does anyone know what the standard chamber, caster, and KPI angles for everyday cars people drive ?
This is much needed info, thanks💪
could you do a video on the Japanese style you were referring to? that sound interesting and i would like ot learn it.
I would be interested to repeat the experiment but changing camber with camber plates.
Can you make a video how to set up for race track a BMW multi link suspension.? Please
Does that mean lengthening the lower control arm method is safe for non drift cornering.
please explain how the lead wheel in a turn ( inside) would have most of the load. i would think that the outer onee would have most of the load

Thanks bro
What is lead wheel and trail wheel?
Music is distracting. Felt like i had to focus on tuning it out
how to know lead and trail wheel ?
