^ Amped for FC control arms. they look a little flimsy though, but I'm no engineer. I'm surprised there are no control arms for the FC on the market already with all the guys drifting them these day. they have had knuckles for a little while, might be changing their design now for those control arms though. nice find bro, I asked Dan through email about links such as rear toe arms and a better way to control rear camber. I was told that they were looking into things but nothing was really being actively developed yet lol. this was like middle of last year.
Comicartist-you want to keep it like that and then maybe even lower it more after you drive on them? it looks almost undrivable on the street as is. you will be scraping your exhaust off it looks like. I understand hard park stance but driving...well, good luck. you must have some smooth flowing roads to get away with that lol.
EDIT: after rereading that comicartist, it sounded like I was being a dick. I wasn't trying to be. jus sayin' ya know. go hard if your roads allow it dude.

Frame rails actually have good clearance. About 2" right now, which is way more than what Im used to. My S30 that I daily only has about 3/4" clearance. And I'm not running that exhaust.

Like I said, if money isn't an issue, you should be looking at like Tien or Stance. Parts Shop Max is about the only good coilover in the $1k range, but they don't make them for FD's. Check out Stance GR+, you won't regret it.

money no object? Ohlins. now, dialing in settings on those is a bit harder as they have a lot more features then most (independent adjustments like rebound and stuff, etc) but getting a decent drift setup shouldn't be hard. depends on what you want out of the car. PBM's are pretty good, for drifting and some street duty. Ohlins are more for serious track duty but they have the adjustments to gain advantages out of them. Overkill in a drift car probably.
k sport. no, I did some research as well. for FC's and other models on k sports. the general consensis is that they aren't worth what you pay for the performance you get. a lot of 240 guys hate k sports after they moved on to something better (hks/pbm/stance). Lots of people like stance though. not to much bad about them and they are stateside. I have to say though that I love my Old style PBM's (the orange/yellow version), my car handles pretty well around corners and drifting is great. the new style is much improved it seems when it comes to regular street driving and I am sure the performance is still there and improved as well.
