There are two common setups for drift.
1) Tramp - cheapo
cut front springs, and change damper oil in front struts. Rear lowering blocks and land rover shock absorbers.
2) Off shelf uprated parts.
Classicswede 3inch lower drift front springs with adjustable front dampers. Rear 2 or 3" lowering block kit with classicswede adjustable dampers.
3) home build.
Home made front and rear coil overs

nop. Only things like that would involve much custom fabrication work and would be senseless and so much upgrade parts are available for the existing suspension system.

Which set-up to choose all depends on how you long you intend to use the car for and how you intend to use the car. Streeto and the occasional drift what ya brung day would be better suited on DAI's adjustables/springs. If its just streeto cut springs and gearbox oil is the way. But if you intend to keep the car forever and ever and want to turn it into a balls out drift weapon, then all custom front coilovers and rear coilovers with 6linking is the best you can get (until someone designs an IRS). So, what do you intend to use it for, and how long do you intend to keep it for? Thomas.............

Best place to start would be mr classicswede himself, DAI can supply all of that so give him a buzz
