Default Drifing

Ive been drifing the stang for a few months now and must say with my light mods done to the suspension the stang is one badass ride to drift in....i was wondering what mods i can do to my suspension that will help me stay more stable. i know if i do something to the front suspension, it will increase oversteer and vis versa, but i was wondering wut set ups are the best for drifting.thanks

you could do a panhard bar, sway bars, and some control arms.

You dont have to be an ******* to the guy...

Drifting wasnt just made in Asia.. If you go back and watch old car racing movies (Pre 1980, when drifting became popular in Asia) you can see they drift around corners etc., drifting is when you turn your car one way, then before the car goes completely that way, turn your wheels in the opposite direction (turning left will result in you turning your wheels right). Hell, if youve ever seen the movie CARs they show how to drift.. in an animated disney movie..

there's a difference between drifting and breaking traction to not slow down while racing

ok... whats the difference? the name? I understand that theres a "racing circuit", if you will, called drifting, but are they not breaking traction? Besides there was just a special on the SPEED channel last night about how some NASCAR drivers enter drifting contests when they arent racing.

nobody drifts in a race, unless its a drift race. People might powerslide around a corner, but thats not drifting. Drifting is totally different.
