i used to; didn't like the idea of repairing it more than modifying it. well; more than i already have to hahhaahha. but, the car will get it's *** end out very easily. no problem on that, but you really need to get some more power to maintain the apex's and have more control. get an adjustable camber kit up front because these 1st gens like to push alot. umm other than that, i say it's not worth it. our cars were made to handle, not drift.

those carollas are making over 200rwhp still tho, and pushing 9k rpms. suspension tho, call up TEIN; they will custom make you a setup or you can go all Ground Control. they have the camber/caster plates and some high *** spring rates.

start off with a lsd rear end. that helps alot. then i would spend some money on the springs and the front struts. or, just drift it like it is. i do. except i have a lsd.
