Default Finding my full suspension set up

Okay so im planning on tuning up my car to become a dd and a little drifter....I know its not a RWD car and i know that its just crazy to do such a think with my EG. But that is the type of driving i want to do to this car. Right now im just researching on coilovers set ups and sway bars. I want to find out which sway bars and coilovers should be recommended to me so i can stiffen up the rear of my EG but has the capability of adjustments so the dd wont be so bad.

so far what i decided to get would be F&F type 2 and ASR sway and subframe brace anything else i would need to stiffen the rear up and still maintain a good corning car?

You are never going to get a fwd car to drift

For the price of the F&F T2 you can get the much better GC/Koni set-up or the better quality pic selects. If you want a car with a lot of over steer buy a 240sx. You really cant have a fwd car with a lot of over steer and still handles good. It will have to be very stiff all of the time because you will have to have a beefy sway bar and stiffer spring rate. The ASR set you picked out is a nice set though, you can keep that.

In the winter you can kinda drift..summer time..NO

I loved sliding around in the winter..yeah it's more of sliding than drifting but it's still a blast!! you can only keep it going for so long but I don't see how your going to drift in a fwd

I actually know the guy in the first pic. The second guy was the one competing in the D1 competitions.

He drove the car to the track and drove it home when the day ended.
