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?

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.

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

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.

The only real requirements for drifting are a lot of patience and *****. 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.
