What should I get? What do they do?

Well, I got 100 bucks and I want to buy something for the ol' 240 Well, here is the stuff I found I would like to know what they do and if I should get them or not.. Also, tell me if you know anything about the product like if it is trash or if it is a great buy.

Rear Lower Tie Bar

Ground kit

Short Shifter

Knology Hot Wires

Rear Ladder Bar

I want to drift in the future so tell me if any of this stuff would be bad for it.. Thanks guys!

I really dont know much about the parts needed for drifting...but im sure a short shifter wont hurt you no matter what your doing

Edit: Do you have coilovers? If you dont save those 100 bucks and put them towards some quality coilovers. Im pretty sure you'll need those for drifting

Lets see.. the wires are pointless and way overpriced i'd say, especially if your car is mostly stock, wires don't really add that much to be spending 170$ for... you can make your own ground kit for cheaper...If you're going to get a short shifter, get B&M not some cheap s**t.. they're bad quality, and would probably break if you're going to be drifting and shifting quickly... I'd get the other two things.. or save it..

get the rear ladder bar, lower tie rod, or a good short shifter. If your gonna get em off ebay, just get the ladder bar and the Nology wires

- lower tie bar: that wont do ****, our cars is already stiff right inbetween the wheels, buy this if your car is a honda

- ground kit: waste of money only works between certain rpms for example: 4500-5000rpm

you want ground? go to your audio store and buy ground wire there, same ****

- short shifter: Nismo? hahah wat a fake. buy b&m and be happy

- hot wires: same, wont do ****

- RLB: works, only item here that will work with "drifting"


fact is, you dont need ANYTHING to drift. go drift your bone stock ride. buying stuff will only HELP you IMPROVE your skill, but doestn MAKE you drift
