IS the dampening adjustable on those. IM just trying to see whats the best way to set my car up. I have kyb agx 8 way adjustable struts on the rear and 4 way on the front with som 1 inch drop eibach springs. I also have full poly urathane bushings and dtss eliminators. I dont know what setting would be best for drifting. I know that I dont have the best suspensions for drifting. but should I make the front real stiff and the rear soft of keep everything as stiff as possible. I also have camber adjusters on the rear if that matters. I also have a front strut bar and a 6 pt cage. My car once to spin out really easy I cant seem to maintain a drift. I heard that un hooking the rear sway bar can make it easier. Any suggestions

Please discuss suspension setups in specific forums for it, in the end, its you who has to try all different settings and see how it changes. There is no general how-to which will make you drifter by copying it. Its not about setting up car that much, like learning how to use car.

Higgi,

Looking good out there mate!!

jparker, I know Higgi don't like us messing up his thread so PM me if you really want to discuss but my only suggestion would be, swap your idea around. Slam some heavy springs on the rear, not on the front. The stiffer the rear, the easier it is to kick the back out. The stiffer the front, the more grip you have. But it really is a rule of thumb. Any well balanced setup is good for drifting if you use good technique!
