ok guys i am after a general idea on how drift cars are setup suspension wise as i will be redoin my suspension after i get my turbo all done and sorted. any help or ideas welcome
i thought they really stiffened the suspension up so that all the load is aplied to the tyres when cornering and not absorbed by suspension movement travel etc. also tyres and tyre pressures as well. maybe look theough some 4's and rotaries mags as these are normally used for drifting etc

lots of camber front and rear
If you want to setup for drift or somthing like drift then you need it to be a stiff as possible and camber but there is a fine line fulcrum have sponsered a v8 vn or np and he is running full fulcrum suspension my best bet it to contact them but it will cost you a pritty penny
you want to set it up to oversteer and will probably want to do some redesign of the handbrake as they dont work that great.probably just set it up by feel till you get it nice to drift.some adjustable top strut mounts should sort out the camber and caster angle required get your local wheel alignment shop to set it up how they think it should be and make some small adjustments till you get it nice ..set of koni adjustables or something similar.LSD a must.and a good clutch.and everything said by those above .
if it's only going to be a drift car i'd mini spool it, if your goingto be using it as a daily driver also then stick to the LSD

best bet to get your thing to drift, lock diff, hydraulic handbrake, mega camber, **** tyres and your away thats pretty much all the jap guys in NZ do, Also if you make your suspension too stiff good luck drifting you'll have lifting wheels ever tried to do a burnout with one wheel off the ground LOL not good
