i highly doubt youd flip ur car drifting on dry pavement. these cars have pretty tight suspension. especially the GTUs. i drifted my 88 GTU daily. rain or not. and you should first get a a DTSS eliminator. then worry about camber. ( i think it DTSS correct me if im wrong)

Oh, trust me, you can flip your car.
Try sliding into a curb sideways...
Having enough speed and it'll flip over.
Ignore those "camber" kits.
To get camber on the front of your FC, get CAMBER PLATES.
Those cheap-*** camber kits are a waste of money.

Use front camber plates and a rear camber car to adjust the camber. Dont bother with camber if your drifting, get the rear steer eliminator, it makes the car alot easier to control in your 'drift'.

Only drifting in the rain because you are afraid you are going to flip your car is rediculous. When you are sideways (in mid drift) the only way to flip your car would be to hit a curb or something to upset the "balance" between your car and the pavement. Why the hell are you drifting on the street anyway, the odds of wrecking/flipping are higher than say in a empty parking lot. Just my .02, don't take it the wrong way.

doesn't need to be a curb, it could be something like a bump on the ground as you slide off the edge of the pavement etc. friend of a friend did it to his FC at a road course drifting function.
