Try.Club4ag, although most of them drive AE86, I am sure you will get much more infor there as lots of people do drift. Many of them also own S13 too.

Ah, the art of drifting, i would recomend some stiff shocks you wouldn't want the softies to bog out on you when your goin round a corner.

Hey man, I hear that those KONI Yellow adjustables are actually pretty reasonable, and would allow you to street your 240 as well as drift it, my cousin has a set in his, i've never driven in it, but he says they are easy to change the settings on, so my advice is to go with them and see how they work, tokico and stuff are other, more expensive options

There is alot more than just shock/spring setup for drifting. Buy new polyuerathane (sp?) bushings (i.e. subframe, control arm, etc.), if you are looking for a cheap solution to eliminate wheel hop and tense up your rear end (many have said one of the best mods they have done) get subframe spacers (or just buy washers from home depot, ace hardware). Wheel choice and tires will also have a dramatic effect on the way that you 'drift' (hopefully you are not talking about fishtailing then I am wasting my time). Stiffen up your car (as you MUST have it) with front and rear swaybars, many recommend whiteline (actually they are a soft blue, go figure) swaybars and strutbars will get you there as they are adjustable, front and rear. That is all I can think of as of now, and remember to get an alignment.

P.S. I did not discuss in full detail a good drifting setup, nor cover all of the major components, just a hint.
