What exactly are drifting parts? Like suspension mods or drifting stickers and body kits? If you're looking for suspension mods you can try
Mazdatrix
Corksport
RacingBeat

But I would recommend looking for new parts on ebay. I bought my shocks and springs on ebay new and saved about $200 instead of buying them from a popular website.

I replied to your PM, but I forgot to add that you may want to pick up DTSS eliminators. You can get them at Mazdatrix website here.

hahah I don't really understand what this "drifting" suspension is. He PM'ed me asking for shocks and springs so I gave him a few links to buy shocks and springs online. He doesn't seem serious enough to be buying full coilovers or anything like that, so I just gave him a link to basic sway bars, stut tower bars, shocks and springs.

Is that Tom Waits in your avatar?

You get all your body panels there, put them on, go drift. Put your nice ones back on then go drive on teh street again.

Let him drift, he has a s5. I havnt seen any s5 in the yards for a while now, I need s5 parts.

There are no such things as 'drifitng' parts. It is a marketing ploy to get you to shellout more money.

What you want to do is find good suspension parts that fit your driving. Make sure you know how to drive.

Mind you, you are in the next city over from me and rx7s are a rarity in this area. Keep it off the streets

Does anybody know how much money it costs in tires to drift? You can go through four set of brand new tires in one race. WIth that said, HKS makes drifting coilovers and there's some stuff on www.morejapan.com
