i got a 96 240sx and i am currently riding on NEX coilover suspension. I was just wandering what kind of suspension would you recomend for drifting purposes. The suspension i got right now i think is a very good one, has nice stiffness and damping. what do you guys think?

J/K.

have you drifted before? is this your first time? What experience do you have?

Look into rear arms and front links.

Search the forums of members who are in events and see,ask what they run.

If you still have stock bushings... you're gonna want to replace most (if not all eventually) of those.

I've been drifting for about a year, and i was just wandering if i'm like missing out on some good suspension out there ya know? and yeah i do need to replace those damn bushings.... and i got all the adjustable control arms and whatnot.

Tension rod bushings... replace those for sure ASAP with some urethane ones. I just did, it makes your handling and steering feel a lot tighter. If you have a shimmy in your wheel (like a lot of 240 owners) that will probably help it, or even eliminate it.

yeah i really gotta replace those even though my body has like 80k on it, its pretty damn worm out. Have you ever heard of NEX suspension? if so is it good for drifting?

stock springs are good for drifting... Hell I took my rental drifting...

Obviously a staged photo but that's the car..

Oh, oh, oh, go totally crazy-forget I'm a lady
Men's shirts-short skirts
Oh, oh, oh, really go wild-yeah, doin' it in style
Oh, oh, oh, get in the action-feel the attraction
Color my hair-do what I dare
Oh, oh, oh, I wanna be free-yeah, to feel the way I feel
Man! I feel like a woman!

Ugh
