okay so right now i've just got a 2.5 inch lowering suspension. i've been told that for drifting it is absoloutely neccesary to upgrade my suspension. what do i need and what should i get without going overboard on cash. i'm thinking in the 600$ area. any help out there?

Drifting is throttle on oversteer. Not suspension specific. Very stiff stuff helps to limit any and all travel, so the car shifts balance with less inertia.

That kind of setup is essentially too hard and useless for a car that one actually would want to drive any good distance.

Check out our Drift forum and our Tire/Wheel/Suspension forum and search there too. Every suspension option is covered on NICO and our sponsors.
