You can replace pretty much everything, however unless your gonna see the track most of it really will not be necessary. If your getting the suspension components just so you can say you have them on your car, just stop.

You may do alot of drifting but unless you are really serious about it you don't need to replace everything. Well whatever you do make sure they are installed correctly and you have a professional race shop or a shop that has alot of experience with doing alignments with aftermarket parts.

subframe spacers, coilovers, wheels, tires are important; and anti-roll bars will make the largest impact on handling.
