    how do you tune the rear suspension for optimal angle?

    also where to practice without attracting the attention of cops?

      Little bit of toe-in for grip just like racecars.
      You don’t really do much to the rear setup for angle things.

      The track.

          Yeah, that sucks. My local track is 40 minutes away.

          I really don’t condone street shenanigans but obviously find a secluded area, keep your car quiet, and go late at night.

        I’ve heard that giving the rear wheels a negative camber or ‘stanced’ look improves the drift by making it a little easier to break free in the back

          You heard wrong.
          Less grip means less control.

          Also, high camber means uneven wear which is just wasting tires.
          If you need less grip due to low power just pick tires that are better suited for your power level and if you need even less grip just run higher pressures.

          Don’t let the stance bois lie to you about their setups. They’re just trying to tuck big wheels that dont fit for aesthetics, which is fine, but why lie about it?

      Idk I’ve never been good at maths

      “Also where to practice without attracting the attention of cops?”

      Practice what?
