Drifting Suspension Setup
You need good suspension. That's a given. Coilovers, strut and sway, camber and lsd - for drifting.... right?
I'm squared away with everything already except the cambers and lsd. Anybody with recommendations? I just found some Ground Control Cambers and want to see if any has had any experience with them. Anything about drift suspension setup, please post! Thanks. (products, use, explanation, cost, hi's and lo's)

its a new littlesite built for drifters. there are a few people that know what they're doing, but its new, and growing.
for camber plates I would get ones from a japanese manufacturer (well, I'd try and get everything else from one as well). I've seen some cusco camber plates on ebay. it also shouldn't be too hard to get your hands on some Tein plates. I just got some used ones on ebay for $30
what kind of coilover set up are you using?

I think all an FC should need are Toe Eliminators and a good condition LSD if you don't already have them. Even without the Toe Eliminators, it drifts quite well... Just not so stable drifting... Also make sure you have good condition shocks.
It's a good idea to learn on near-stock suspension first, before working up to a fully tuned suspension. It will help you understand the car much better first before going all out.
Yea, check out www.Club4ag.com or www.sileightymania.com forums... They got some good stuff there!

well, the FC has this weird 4 wheel steering system, in which the toe of the rear wheels adjusts when turning.
this can make it hard to control teh car when sideways, and can make it very unstabe. there are aftermarket bushings which eliminate that effect. that's what everyone calls the "toe eliminator bushings"
