About this issue

The August 1999 issue of Young Version explores drift setups versus grip tuning through 22 shop demo cars, including S15 Silvias from Mine’s and Kazama Auto. Features cover front-wheel-drive builds taking on high-powered 4WD rivals, choosing a first drift car, and reviving a used AE86 Trueno on a ¥1 million total budget. Suspension fundamentals, engine-oil selection, rotary maintenance, new-parts tests, and reports from Hiroshima and California round out this look at Japan’s late-1990s tuning scene.

Resolves the lack of suspension travel caused by lowering by using an ultra-short case and ultra-short rod. The single spring provides ample travel (front springs on all models). Combined with a twin-tube structure and a design with no free play, it delivers a supple ride without harsh jolts. A dedicated straight-wound spring matched to sporty damping is used; a milder soft spring is also available separately. The lightweight short case reduces unsprung weight and improves road following. Tanabe’s refresh system lets you replace the damper unit with a new one. Lowers the vehicle approximately 60–100 mm.
