"I do drift, it's kind of a hobby" - Drift King

For anyone confused about him going on about "version 3" coilovers, these aren't "KW V3". Kw makes a secondary product line called "st suspension" and the xta line is built right along side kw suspensions, but they're aimed at a lower price point so there's some differences. So he has ST XTA +3 coilovers, not "KW VERSION 3" the biggest difference between then being the galvanized steel shock body instead of stainless steel. St is cool because you still get the same kw quality, German engineering, made in Germany etc, just at a lower cost. I just installed a set of ST XTA's on my frs and I love them. The ride is extremely compliant and it made a huge improvement to the handling. With camber plates they costed as much as some cheaper coilover options but the quality is significantly higher.

In fact we might have done over 150, I really don't remember. They aren't for me, but they are highly respectable from a drivers experience perspective.

It's nice to see Tsuchiya-sama open up his 86 to us. I personally am taking more of an Orido x Revolution Style route of tuning after seeing the various parts showcased here. Pairing Revolution's 5.1 Final Gear with a 1L Sprintex Supercharger and Orido's battery/fuse kit whilist upgrade to a 2way Suspension from Tein with active damper motors for daily driving gives this car an absolute JDM Hero Feel.

This is great!!! Subbed. I remember watching option videos on VHS with my cousin when he would bring them back from Japan. Drifting had not even touched the states yet.

when sir Tsuchiya's on the e brake it looks like ancient muscle memory kicking in from what he first had an underpowered drift car

0:33 "I introduce my 86 as role model tune" Laughts in the back

It’s great having The Drift King videos in English subtitles now.

0:01 first time seeing him using handbrake

I have RCE Tarmac 2 coilovers on my 95' WRX. They are based on the KW V3 shock but with linear valving and linear springs. Despite having a much stiffer spring rate, the comfort is nearly identical to stock in most conditions but feels much more responsive. The inox stainless steel is nice too because I will be running them through the winter. I can raise my car about 1/2 inch for winter and lower 2 inches in the summer. They are 2-way adjustable for damping. My only complaint is having to buy tophats separately but I still recommend them if you can afford it

Torsen type diffs tend to be more street friendly as they don't affect NVH. Besides, they're plug-and-play and maintenance free aside from regular oil changes. They also require no adjustment unlike a plate-type diff such as the OS Giken. IMHO in a car that's mostly driven on the street the Torsen makes more sense.
