Default S2000 Drifters?

How many here actually drifts with their S2000?..Im just a beginner and have been doing 90/180/360 degree with ease so far,sometimes when im going home with the usual curves ill do some drifting doing 45 mph and complete them successfully,other times i wont>So to anybody who drifts with their S2000 (not professionally)..What kind of suspension set-up would you recommend?..how about brakes?..also what type of maintenance should i do with my E-Brake since ive been pulling this a lot?Thanks..Any pointers would be great.

Well because of the twitchy nature of S2000s, it is definitely a better setup for "grip" driving. Our short wheelbase makes sliding drifts into quick (difficult to control) movements. I believe you can setup your car to be a drift-capable car, but we're talking a lot of suspension mods. Oh an you should think about going with a different LSD setup as well. To make it even more simple, the S2000 is not a budget nor skill- friendly drift car to begin with.

Get a 240sx or a Corolla GTS.

True,but drifting is way more fun than drag racing All i do recently is meet with some of my friends in a abandoned parking lot and practice ..I know with practice and practice i can be pretty good at this,plus i heard the 240 SX and Corolla (Ae86) has great understeer (stock) making it even harder for beginners like me.I guess ill just get some coil overs for now.I hope there's a school for this here in VA.
