Exclamation fc drift suspension/mods

so i posted a thread in another location about drift suspension and mods for a NA fc
of course im lookin for about the cheapest but still reliable way to make a stock fc driftable.
ive got agx's with tanabe gf210's on it now and thats it for the mods
so far on the list is
definitely: lsd, exhaust(still dont know exactly what to do about that part)
knuckles for steering, and possibly coilovers later on down the road.
any suggestions?

Yep.

Get some **** steelies and free (or nearly free) tires and find a safe spot to practice. By safe spot i mean "closed course" or "track".

If you do it elsewhere, dont disclose where.....especially on the internet.

Learn on stock angle first. Don't use increased angle as a crutch, you won't build good skills.

Buy one, if you got a $10 head buy a $10 helmet. I for one don't cheap out on safety equipment. I got about $1000 in riding gear for my street bike.

yea its better to dorifto with stock anglez. you can do a more linear dorifto like where the car isnt in that much angle and is traveling forward but in angle. i dont know what im talking about im too high.

but yea dont get angle mods till you learn how to dorifto with stock angle. angle mods slow you down in a way. thats what happens when you get too sidewayz you just slow down too much, even with alot of power.

Id say get some steering rack spacers, simply because FCs have such pathetic stock angle. DO NOT get knuckles until you know how to drive well though.

Make sue DTSS is gone too.
