intrax springs are good i had them on my last supra 86.5 N/A and the suspension was tight and great. i currently am looking to buy those again for my 89 turbo now and i'll probably buy either toxico or kyb shocks. and that too me should be fine to mess around with cuz i'm not gonna be drifting in competition or anything so that suspension should be efficient.

i gots intrax springs and stock shocks and they work great for drifting... $229 on 935motorsprts, i believe they're having a sale down to $189

what about adjustable ones that sit on a threaded pipe and can adjust the ride height since i live in maine i can't just lower it.

Eibach Pro-Kit with KYB G2s. Not rigid enough for my taste but it handles much better than factory.

i hang with alot of drifting guys and though i am no expert i have to heard abou this shit 24/7. camber and caster settings play a big roll. most cars come from the factory with around .5 degrees negative caster and 5 degrees posotive camber. camber/caster is adjustable by buying aftermarket rear upper control arms (adj. camber) and front pillow tenson rods (adj. caster). most drifters will run maybe 1.5 degrees neg. camber and 6 degrees positive caster. toe in/out is also important but not tops on the list. coilovers help but a simple shock/spring setup should suffice. cheap upgrades are a nice way to start out. rear subframe brace ($60) adds some stiffness and polyurthane bushings for swaybars and steering components add to responsiveness...that crisp feeling. a 2-way on/off lsd in nice but not a must. i wouldnt weld your diff unless you have a drift-only slut (a drifter buddy of mine with a mk2 200sx turbo has a weld diff and its shit for daily.)
