awd hard sspension which ever tires you prffer i recomand hard slicks on the front with my drift tires on the rearbut since you dont have custom homemade tires i dont know i prefer stock stearing rack but most drift setups are trial and error ?personal preference but i highly recomend awd as i have never heard of an xmod drift consistantly and well without awd its possible but makes it soooo much easier

but remember personal preference dont just jack my setup whitout trying other stuff find your flow and just well flow with it

OR just use handy dandy scotch tape or electrical tape... I like the electrical because it is just a tiny bit sticky on the outside to make you have enough traction to get a good running start to get it slung sideways and keep it that way...

clear scoth tape is the way to go. cheap, easy and effective.

(for gamers: its also good for making mousefeet friction-free )
