Drifting on stock suspension does not work.

I installed the following before doing my 1st drift event:
H&R Super Sport Springs
D-Specs
Hellwig Adjustable Rear Sway Bar
Steeda "Race" LCA
BMR Panhard Bar

Here's the video of the first time out with the new car http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7thh0VBM9o4

I failed the LSD with about 600 miles on the odo. I rebuilt it, and added more clutch disks to it. Working great now.

I had to replace the UCA due to the stock unit breaking

I killed the clutch with about 5,000 miles on the car

I broke motor mounts soon after

Yes, Drifting is very hard on a car..... but it's so damn fun


FYI, Ford installs steering stops on the steering rack to prevent a stock wheel from rubbing. Get some lower offset wheels, and remove them. You will find more steering angle

Thanks, s197slyder. You just convinced me to take care of my car and just watch other people beat the crap out of theirs in person or on Youtube.
