I was wondering what would be good suspension to run in my 180 for drifting? should i just roll stock for a while until i get better so that i dont mess up the new suspension? thanks

you'll only mess up a new suspension by slamming into something, and that won't happen if you're drifting at the track like you should

I run the megan racing street coilovers on my car, this would probably be a good setup if you're just getting into drifting and don't want to drop 2 grand on coilovers just yet

when you have adjustable shocks, it's good to remember that those will make ALL the difference in the world. I run halfway between hard and soft in the front and about 4 clicks softer in the back than the front.

I was going to recomend the same coilovers, the best bang for your buck.

You can never go wrong with swaybars, or strut bars.

In order of importance:
1. Coilovers
2. Tension Rods
3. Sway bars
4. RUCAS

Also never forget the importance of a good alignment.
