My car's got a Cusco front strut bar, Tokiko 5-way adjustable struts with Eibach pro-line springs...what else do you think I need to drift?



Aftermarket LSD and a rear-strut bar?

you can drift on the stock lsd but you really need a good one 1.5 way or better. cusco's are real good. so are kazz

Lionheart240 03-28-2004 03:16 PM

Do you think I should get a rear strut bar before I do? To prevent any body flex? I only mess around, it's not like I go at it for like 20 minutes...cops would get me! @_@



Can I even drift with the current setup? I don't want to be a one-wheel wonder..

A rear strut bar would help althogh it isnt a necessity you can do some slides without it.

If that's your car in your sig, you should have a clutch type LSD stock.

Midnightdriver 03-28-2004 05:36 PM

you don't have to have a rear strut bar but if you do better with one use it...each persons drift setup is diffrent. find what you can work with. yes and a better clutch is good too

any car thats rwd, jesus you people act like you need ******* d1 prepped cars. drift that ****, you'll be better when you get the real **** you need.

actually the LSD is a requirement.... before suspension in my opinion. The stock diff sucks unless you have a s4GTX which is mechanical and work pretty nice.



The other stuff you can use later.

I dont know what you guys are talking about the T2 diff is suppose to be better than the stock FD one.

The only real requirements for drifting are a lot of patience and balls. Any stock car can do it, however it will be more challenging the more stock your car is.



To make it somewhat more possible to break traction, I would recommend upgrading the LSD; putting in a good coilover suspension, stiff springs will still give body roll; get some good brakes all around.



Other stuff for later on: 2 extra wheels, cause you don't want to use tires with no tread when you drive around town; a place that will give you a quantity discount on tires; a nice bucket seat to keep you firmly panted.
