With that, you can drift on the stock suspension just fine. After that, in this order (IMO):
1. Wheels/tires 2. Struts/springs. I'd jump straight into a coilover setup like Jic or Tein.3. Stiffen the Chassis. Start w/ strut bars and sway bars.4. Quicker steering.5. Race seat.
PS - You'll need power at some point too. I'd say after the coilovers. Brakes should be done as well. At the very least, you'll want some ss lines with good fluid and pads.
PSS - Oh yeah, a driving school would be a real good idea too.

ummm, theres no "ultimate" drifting setup, its based on style and preference. Theres also no "ultimate" setup for low pricing, because then things are compromised, and it's no longer "ultimate". If you'r looking for easy answers so you don't have to do research on parts you buy, then maybe you should find another hobby. Drifting is for the committed.

Yes, people who want to get into drifting should realize that it's not cheap to build a car for drifting. I'm not saying you can't drift with a stock 240sx, cause you can. But along with spending a lot of money on your suspension and other stuff, your going to have to spend a lot of time and money on making repairs. For instance on thanksgiving weekend, I broke the fork ,that pushes on the throw out bearing, off of the bolt that holds it in place. I actually sheered the bolt in half(I'm sure the bolt has a name, but I don't know what it's called). And I just got my car running 2 days ago.

shouldahve known i was gunna get bashed for using that word, ok so i have a front strut tower bar, when entering a turn the car pushed much less. thats a plus correct? se eim lost among the way i want things. do i want progress springs,or doi got eibach or tanabe. koni yellow adj or non adj. will tenson rods break easily?see im not some dork just looking for someone words to paly wityh .im just lost. my strut tower bar was also 40 bucks. i herd theretically they are "supposed " to work . so i didnt feel like buying a jic 150 dollar one. but help me out with names and all. not just ,upgrade teh suspension. will i be able to pull out menovers with springs or ami better off getting real coilovers? but hose cost soooo much.

Get acustomed 2 dorifting ur car stock. Den as u progress, newer suspension pieces will "enhance" ur abilities. Drifting a car fully tuned a sh*t load different, especialy if uve barely used ur car and usually is a whole harder if u dont have a feel for it.Unless, ur Fujiwara Takumi.
