Thumbs up (Need Help) - Suspension Setup for Drifting

What is a good suspension setup for drifting? What I have now is just cheap KYB gas shocks and Eibach springs. I think 400 in the front and 300 in the rear. I have no clue how to make my 240 better at drifting.

Go buy some anti-sway bars and a lsd, that should make a world of difference.

I was thinking about 300zx LSD, but not sure which anti-sway bar to get. Any suggestions on which LSD or anti-sway bars.

Well get a Suspension Techniques Sway Bat, they are well known through the indstry and have a great reputation and have heard very good things about them from users in the forum. WHiteline I also heard is very good, but I would go with the ST ways, IMO

I hear that the Suspension Techniques sway bars have fitment problems sometimes though.

Silviaspeed has the ST bars and says they are good.

I am going with the Whiteline. They are adjustable which gives me more options.

Try to get a LSD or should i say VLSD from a 240sx that came with VLSD. If you go with a VLSD from a 300zx you will need new output shafts they are going to cost $150 a peice so $300 + the 300zx differnetal. But most of us can't find a 240sx with VLSD and use the 300zx diff. CHeck this sight out

and

That will help you out. Now about your suspension, the stiffer the better. If you have adjustable shocks put your rear on as stiff as you car and the front is preferance. I have them set alittle soft compard to the rear so in the drift i don't lose steering. Good luck.
