We’ll get there! Just need to keep going and keep getting support

[@ItsMarkBernardo]

It would be great if someone could explain springs and shock tuning a bit more! There are a lot of youtube videos that just keep repeating fundamentals, but there are people like me that wanna get a solid foundation on the deeper stuff. Like why you would use a certain type of shock, how you tune or set up springs with shocks. how would you use a 3way adjustable versus the typical single way adjustable, etc etc

[@HaugenRacing]

Realized I totally messed up and said the R stands for rim. It stands for Radial. My mind was on the wheel size...

[@BOOT]

R stands for wRong!

[@abro369]

Bet you don't know what this means either 😂How can you call yourself a pro and leave this video online with this kind of mistake ? It discredit everything you say after that... fyi it's the internal structure of the tire that is radial.

[@3brandon]

Seriously how tf haven’t ur videos blown up yet some of the higher quality vids and still so underrated

[@HaugenRacing]

We’ll get there! This is why I know we will.

[@EightyThor]

This helped a lot with sim drifting on CarX as they had adhesion levels 90, 100 (default), 110 and 120 and I didn’t “fully” understand it. But now I’ve seen this example I get what that equates to; C, B, A and AA. Super helpful.

[@beckettkim7044]

Thank you for this in depth video. Instead of just saying just to get cheap used tires

[@HaugenRacing]

🙌 love to hear that. Hoping this helps everyone figure out what works for them

[@2500brandon]

Your the only other person i know that actually knows the true meaning. I try to explaine 35 is 35 percent of the first number a d people think im crazy lol. Thanks man always on point

[@Balisongboy2]

Please go more into depth on tire pressures, really appreciate your videos

[@HaugenRacing]

Ok! Thanks fam!

[@brandongarcia2688]

Yes please make a vid about tire pressure. My dumbass got some super wide wheels for my s13 stock ka24de😂 They look amazing but I’m not sure how high of a psi I should have my tires at to have them break loose easier.

[@HaugenRacing]

Ok haha. Ya that’s going to cause some issues going wide with super low power but you can run like 50psi. See if that works

[@brandongarcia2688]

Haugen Racing thanks 🙏🏼 will do

[@Repent_By_Drift]

I did a few days and once gor confident got told to tighten up the back and feel it a bit skatey.... A few laps later manjying the straight i lost the rear and planted into a wall 🤣. Grip all the way 🙌🤙🏼

[@nikitomisquito6738]

When I heard the r stands for rim I was honestly just happy you used the word rim cause apparently that makes some car guys salty

[@HaugenRacing]

Ya R stands for radial lol. I totally messed up. Was concentrated on the wheel/rim size. And ya I don’t get the whole rim vs wheel thing. Who cares 🤣

[@ThePower1037]

Please do a tire pressure guide!

[@florida2407]

Question what do you usually put your dampening on your coilover to front to back... is the front stiff and the rear soft?

[@HaugenRacing]

It really depends on spring rates. If they’re fairly close to correct then in theory yes that’s how you’d setup the dampening. Always start on extremes and then make large adjustments and test. This will help you learn what changes actually do.

[@florida2407]

@@HaugenRacing I have an sr20 hatch with an sr20 8k front 5k rear I run a 17x9 with a 215 in front and a 235 with a 17x9.75 in rear. I am full soft in rear and 10 clicks away from full stiff in front oh and no sway bars. Does it sound good brother

[@HaugenRacing]

I’d bump up a couple from full soft but that’s always a good place to start. May want to run a little stiffer on the dampening in the rear since no sway bar. But go try it out!

[@florida2407]

@@HaugenRacing thanks alot bro as always I'll like every video you post thanks for giving back to the drift community you are an inspiration

Thank you man!!!

Super cool color the red rims

[@JakeJsForDays]

Rev up 350z Has 18/8.5 +30 offset Any suggestions on cheap tire sizes to try would be helpful Currently has 255/45/18 on rear

[@BOOT]

Yah from my research drift suspension is very sim to drag.

[@HaugenRacing]

In the rear we’re looking for a lot of the same characteristics. The front is its own animal for sure

[@larryhaugen9112]

Good information. There’s a lot more to it then I realized

[@HaugenRacing]

Seriously! We could talk about tires forever

[@kirbylee57]

I couldn't stay awake to watch the whole thing., my gawd.

[@dlhaugen]

Radial it is!

[@HaugenRacing]

Ya that was an oops... was concentrated on the wheel/rim size

[@dlhaugen]

I would like to know more about tire pressure!

[@HaugenRacing]

Well do it!

[@chrisleggas4644]

I am always confused on what to get for a drift csd

[@chrisleggas4644]

Car*

[@HaugenRacing]

Watch our best drift cars to buy video! That should help you out man

[@chrisleggas4644]

@@HaugenRacing what I meant was, I never know what tire to put onto a drift car. I already have a strong bias on what car I want to get for drifting.

[@HaugenRacing]

Ohhhhh I see. Well if you have any other questions after this video let me know!

[@Ortisan_Official]

Lol in between the stretch and bulge"pretty much just put the tire on correctly"

[@MaxCotton]

Have you tried Maxsports on the front and westlake rs sport on the rear? Its a winning formula.

[@HaugenRacing]

IMO Achilles 123s for the front is unbeatable. For the rear I’ve tried all sorts of tires but the ones I listed have the best mix of price and performance

[@MaxCotton]

Thanks @@HaugenRacing Ill see if we can get some and give them a try. 👍

[@HaugenRacing]

Do it up! Let me know what you find out. I’m always down to learn too!

[@MaxCotton]

I would defiantly recommend you try Maxsports on the front. You can have just about any pressure on any surface in any weather and loads of grip.

[@MaxCotton]

I am not sponsored by them btw.

[@uiscebathahealing4690]

I have some grippy tires on right now but could I run a pair of less grippy ones in the back just to have some fun drifting/donuts not necessarily going to fast. Just for some fun or should they’ve the same tires?

[@driftingpsycho86]

Nice videos. Do a video on alignment and how it affects the car and the tire pressure.

[@HaugenRacing]

Ya we may have to! We did a whole video on car setup last week. Check that one out when you have a chance

[@driftingpsycho86]

Also what is your opinion about running a higher profile on the front than the rear. I see some pro car setup like that. Iwas told that it help with tire flex if you have a higher profile up front which is a good thing.

[@HaugenRacing]

Ya I’ve seen some do that too. I haven’t felt like I wanted it. Achilles 123s are my go to tires and they have unlimited grip honestly. It’s crazy

[@HaugenRacing]

Don’t over complicate it. Focus on driving.

[@SilencetheFear]

dang learned a lot in this video 👍👍👍

[@K1DWOLF]

Perfect video

[@gecko1406]

What tire would u recomend for a 200hp rwd car ? Thank u

[@kimdotnet8151]

ever run grippy tires in the rear rather than the front?

[@HaugenRacing]

I personally never have and wouldn’t recommend that for drifting. Always run grippy tires up front and then add grip in the rear as you need it

[@kimdotnet8151]

@@HaugenRacing yea that's what i've always gone by. Luke Fink has said otherwise so I'm curious. Better for reverse entry's too apparently. You should try it sometime and see what your opinion on it is! He said he prefers semi slicks in the rear and normal radials up front.

[@spookerbooger3821]

What spec wheels and tires would you recommend for a automatic car running around 120hp with open diff? I’m currently running 18x8 +43 on 215/40

[@Slipped_clutch]

Weld the diff first👍🏼

[@attzelonvenus]

Is 225 width ok or no?

[@HaugenRacing]

Yeah it more so depends on you HP man

[@ShuffleMasta]

IveI've heard that General tires are a decent brand, what do you think Haugen?

Havent tried or heard much about those. I find the cheapest tires in the size I want. The ones I listed are super cheap and generally available

[@HaugenRacing]

Idk man. Achilles are wild. Best tires for drifting IMO

[@scottfurtado3504]

Haugen Racing I hear you. But you have to try the rt615 out. You would be very happy with them

[@DealAlex]

For my 550whp Shelby I run 275s in the rear and 255s in the front and I don’t have any issues with that right now but it’s also my daily driver so I can make it a full drift missile lol. Would you recommend any changes or have any advice at all? Thanks and keep up the good work🤙🏼

[@HaugenRacing]

Honestly, if its the gt500 its too nice to use as a missile! I would definitely recommend getting something a little cheaper and checking out our best beginner drift cars video!

cheapest tyres are best tyres for drifting

are talking about rear wheels here?

we talk about front and rear in the video :)

Not to split hairs but, R = radius
