what about adjustable ones that sit on a threaded pipe and can adjust the ride height since i live in maine i can't just lower it.

Eibach Pro-Kit with KYB G2s. Not rigid enough for my taste but it handles much better than factory.

i hang with alot of drifting guys and though i am no expert i have to heard abou this shit 24/7. camber and caster settings play a big roll. most cars come from the factory with around .5 degrees negative caster and 5 degrees posotive camber. camber/caster is adjustable by buying aftermarket rear upper control arms (adj. camber) and front pillow tenson rods (adj. caster). most drifters will run maybe 1.5 degrees neg. camber and 6 degrees positive caster. toe in/out is also important but not tops on the list. coilovers help but a simple shock/spring setup should suffice. cheap upgrades are a nice way to start out. rear subframe brace ($60) adds some stiffness and polyurthane bushings for swaybars and steering components add to responsiveness...that crisp feeling. a 2-way on/off lsd in nice but not a must. i wouldnt weld your diff unless you have a drift-only slut (a drifter buddy of mine with a mk2 200sx turbo has a weld diff and its shit for daily.)
