hey guys.. i was wondering if anyone in here knows what i could do to set up the suspension on my st141 corona..its gonna eb my daily driver but i also want it to be good for drifting..also is tehre any front brake upgrades i can do? thanks for your help

suspension wise i run KYB excel G rears, off a cressida um they ordered the wrong parts btu it fitted and hence i have monroe GT gas front strut inserts cos kyb don't actually make shocks for the rt142/st141 rona's.
Springs i run dobinson HD standard ride height springs but i could get lowered for the same price 320 for all four and they have been tops.
Further mods you could do would ve either sway bars from whiteline or off the TT142 jap imports.
My car handles pretty well thru the twisties and corners reasonably flat and has decent ride and i can go over anything i want. Haven't drifted on the track yet but plan an outing befor i sell it.
All up cost me 580 for parts and a case of beer for my uncle to install it. Most ppl will bag out the monroe's but i haven't had a problem, mine are the newer GT gas with the twin disc technology and they are fine.
I have fun on the toymods cruises sticking to cars i have no right to. Remember its only a rona so don't bother spending too big. I sourced my springs thru whiteline, (their base is five mins from my house) and the shocks thru auto one they were 45% off and cos of a stuffed order i got the more expensive front strut inserts for the same price hehe.
