I hope you mean drifting on the track.....or else you're begging to get flamed.

[boznuttz]

Because only idiots do it on public roads and talk about it.

Lol, thats like saying:"Am I going to be drifting on public roads? -Nah, I won't drift on sidewalks."

omg i just asked if that settup was good lol....ill be driving daily (not more than 3 miles daily) but no street racing jeez.....i hear that coilovers arent good for daily driving, is that true?

[boznuttz]

It all comes down to your personal preferences and road conditions around you. If you have to drive on a pothole infested road, then yeah, it might be a little bumpy.

Honestly, on a good quality coilover, you shouldn't feel THAT uncomfortable. Just dial down the dampeners all the way to their softest setting while daily driving.

But really, I've driven on many sets of suspension before. If the quality of the dampener is solid, then the ride should be as well, even if the spring rates are pretty high.

That addresses the daily driving question, but I'm also curious about this (or any) setup as far as drifting goes. From what I've read so far, it used to be that a stickey tire/soft suspension in the front and a hard tire/tight suspension in the rear was the way to go, but more recently a more balanced car with an emphasis on power is hot ticket. Granted, any idiot with 300+ rwhp can kick the *** end out, but does anyone have any practical experience? And if it's not a voodoo magic skunk works secret, what sort of setups are NICO members using?
