then dropped it when i came back to the states, to much of a money pit.

anyways, i say if you dont know compare your corner weights to that of a Nissan or something then check rates, i know on my skyline (4door gts-t type M) i ran 12k front and 9k back, and a massive sway bar up front, this was experimental but worked well...

keep the car flat, reduce the roll (mainly for transitions) and remember "the key to drifting is grip" no joke having grip when you need it will take the guess work out of nailing you apex's.

wait are you asking as a beginner or just strictly for parts that work on your vehicle?

he is using the metric japenese terms of spring rates, for a different car, which would be totally different. power, sway bar , no sway bar, whos angle kit, all determine what stuff you need. length of arms changes spring rates as well, you have to basically list your stuff an then the right set up can be given.
