I'm currently in the process of building myself a drift rocket, and I'm in need of some experience that could point me in the right direction for a few upgrades to the steering and the suspension. A little background on the car: It's a 1990 Mustang GT 5.0, and I bought it from a guy in...

I installed a new set of wheels and tires this weekend on my '13 GT: LMRs SVE Drifts wheels (18x10) with Nitto NT05 295/35 tires and I am lowered on Eibach Sportline Springs.

Hey, So I have a few questions about drifting, hopefully you guys can answer them. :) First of all, is it possible to even drift with a v6 stang? And I am guessing it probably wouldn't work with it just stock or with a few minor bolt-ons, so what needs to be added to a v6 to be able to? And how...
