custom rock hard springs and shocks at the front.. castor/camber strut top kit, big swaybar 24mm.. strut brace..
similar setup on the rear, with thinner swaybar tho, youd have to test out with an adjustable one for maximum drift..
locker/LSD diff for final touch.

Yeah I think a lot of people are under the misconception that a car setup for drift will hold the road well.

I would have thought for a drift setup you would want a car to have shit all traction on the back and, good road holding and handling on the front. Just some ideas in my silly little mind

thanx for your help.
i've just bought sport shocks from pedders and when i remove my shock out,
the internal size (not sure what its called)from my celica is twice the size of pedders shocks,
can ou tell me what is the differ?
where can i find 24 mm swaybar, strut brace etc.
rear end i've have 9 inche set up but havent install yet, still need to adjust the center which i have no glue or tools to adjust, beside im waiting for 2nd turbo kit for my car.
so im trying to concerntrate at the front for now.
would you know who produce those listed component?
maybe its hard cos im in sydney.

First step... Take the shocks back and get a refund. If you want a well setup car pedders isn't what you want.
Get some Koni's if you can afford it, if not KYB's.
Whiteline can sell you a adjustable front swaybar and rear. You can also get fixed, but if you are serious adjustable is the way to go.
They'll also fix you up with the strut bar.
9", are you talking diff!? If so... Fark! That's a large heavy diff for a Celica.. Can you say 'unsprung weight'?
You should have no troubles finding the components you want... Whiteline carry most of it.. Noltec are also good and a sponsor of Toymods. They can do coilover kits and adjustable strut tops. New bushes etc.
Cheers

What he said. If you're not building a sub 10 second drag car, a 9" is a really bad idea.

im with the idea of taking the pedders back, i got konis, and whiteline swaybar, with a noltec camber kit in the front. Handles like its on rails, suggest you do the same.

Mate as I said, Whiteline and Noltec will have or be able to get pretty much anything you need for your Celica in terms of suspension.
Give them a call.
