Definately the JICs, then Tein. But like Cheers said, suspension isnt **** without the right tires.

I bought the JIC because they were cheap (for what you get) and rebuildable/re-valveable.

The price may have gone up a bit since I bought them as JIC is now planted firmly in the US market, but I would buy them again at a higher price because of how great they have been.

For drifting I would think they would be great since they are robust, rebuildable and all the parts are available seperately for when you do beat/bend them up.

I believe most of the really high end (4 way adjustable , etc.) race shocks will seep oil always and require rebuilds in short intervals. It may be a different story w/ the higher end Japanese shocks as they seem to have a fixation w/ streetability/user friendly-ness at a cost to max performance.
