McJeff, what ur bro needs is a stiffer anti sway bars. I believe Whiteline made some aftermarket swaybars that will fit his VT well. If it does improve handling and he wants to go more, then consider getting the full suspension kit. Whiteline uses Koni (for mine, not sure for VT), they're nice and firm but not bone jarring hard.
True, take it to the track. You'll never know if cops is waiting around the bend to pull you over, or a telephone pole in the way waiting for you to wrap yourself into, or maybe an old lady crossing the road on her way home from her groceries... things can get nasty... See Funkeh's thread, he had a try-hard drifter smashed his letter box.
Just bought the issue, haven't read the articles yet but looks good. Nothing wrong with commies or falcons for drifting, even an N/A V6 version can drift ok with the right technique. But getting a car with suitable chassis makes your learning curve easier. The S13 Silvia range is quite popular, now that they're pretty cheap to get and most imported ones from Japan under 15yo rule may have drift spec suspension on it, ready to drift on any track you want....
