Dont forget about BC racing. quite a few of us running it now, as well as some pro's on the NOPI drift circuit, if I recall properly. Can't beat the price and service!

All you need are coilovers, front camber arms and maybe tie rods.

Don't think it's beyond reason to suggest their are right and wrong setups to buy. I'd think something that does not have lower rear spring rates would be a better choice, since I don't think reducing rear wheelspin is a goal.

I'd get Stance before K-sport, though I would not own either. I don't recommend the Megan's unless you pull the front springs and run them as a 448/448 setup and even then they are not perfect.

Stance GR+ with springs on rear dampner (true coilovers)
560/280 (wheel rates are 265/280

Stance GR+ with springs in oem location
672/616 (wheel rates are 318/259)

Stance GR+Pro springs in oem location
896/784 (wheel rates are 424/330

spend your money on a couple drift days, sets of tires and a good lsd before you think about changing suspension. stock suspension is always a good starting piont for drifting, especially in a z.

then you can deciher what you want and dont want in you choice. my preference may no exactly be what you want, and vice versa. i recomend a company that can be easily contacted if you decide to chance/revalve your coilovers.

my case, i went with zeals.

the suggestions here are spot on

before you start changing suspension, learn how to drift....you can do just fine with the stock suspension

to REALLY drift, your first 2 mods should be tires and a 2 way LSD
