Suspension and Turbo Question

So i'm throwing a new 12A in the car since the other is shot and i want to use it for drifting, so i was wondering if anyone could tell me A: what the best suspension set up would be for drifting and B: what i would need to do to make the engine a 12AT? If anyone could throw some info at me that would be awesome! thanks!

TII turbo, blowthrough or megasquirt, new struts with 400lb front and 250lb rear springs. Shim the LSD, or get one if yours is open. Use the search function.

www.Re-speed.com has the suspension parts you're looking for. They've also assisted in setting up some drift cars in the past. You can send a PM to dj55b and he'll advise you in your build (owner of Respeed).
