Shakocho is the setup used in most of the cars used for drifting, where Shakocho is a combination of integrated coilover/shock (McPherson strut). The advantage of this setup is that it helps in altering the height of the cars. When the Shakocho is better, the Japanese call it the “full tap”. The bottom of the strut is also coil over in this case and thus it helps to adjust the height of the car from the bottom and the height of the spring with the top. A drift driver usually rises the spring to the highest point so as to have full stroke on the shocks of the car. There is no specific height setting on spring/shock combo for any car which can be considered perfect. But the ideal setup depends on specific drivers. Most suspension manufactures such as HKS, Kei Office, JIC Magic, Tein and APEX’i brings into the market, specifically tuned suspensions for drifting. The effort of these manufactures help lot of people to enter the sport of drifting competitively.
