What do you break the most drifting

I was wondering what do you replace the most in the drifting world besides tires. i am planning on building a s5 for drifting but i wanted to know what breaks frequently or always.
I already have suspension, diff and brakes
I just want to have fun not be a pro

Mine used to be engines, until I went V8. Now only tires get destroyed on command.

People most often break bumpers and body panels.

I hear that people break front differential mounts all the time. Might wanna check on that.
Had mine box-welded as a precaution. I'm just hoping I don't rip the mounting tab off the subframe.

Preloaded pinion snubber usually prevents that.

Good catch... Forgot to mention that.
Basically a must, if you have a welded or 2way diff already.

The first thing i am doing is welding my diff. And getting a second set of rims to install tires on that. Not sure about stripping the interior

X 1,000,000. I broke 3 in 3 events, front diff mounts suck after 20 years, get a snubber.

i have yet to break an oem turboII diff mount... idk why i've been lucky. i think camber bar getting maxed out acts as a snubber.

i bought one and never mounted it. im lazy.

Just ordered a camber link. They actually put more torsion stress on the mount itself.
It tilts the subframe and diff mount, while the differential itself doesn't move, twisting the rubber. Just something to be mindful of, if your adjusting camber that way

So yea, you've been really lucky lol.

i still have stock upper mounts in the diff still so maybe they're letting the diff twist some. i remember someone else said that before too. it makes sense. i was going to do solid upper mounts last season but when everyone said it limits adjustment i opted not to go through with them.

plus im lazy... really lazy..

As long as you don't have solid subframe mounts then you're good, as far as adjustability goes. Everything else is fair game. At least thats what Karack said.
