Take your tires off of the rims, and slide on steel. Or move to Wisc. and drive on ice.

Re: drifting mods?

Not really ideal drifting cars. These cars are amarican. As far as drifing goes I guess I would start with suspension mods road race, subframe connectors, full drift cage(they are different then drag cages). Tires you don't mind burning up. lighten up you wheels and tires, volks are a good start. Brake upgrades would greatly benifit you as well.

Re: drifting mods?

I'm pretty sure you'll need to change the diff. or the locker, prob wouldn't hurt to upgrade the driveshaft, just a guess I'm not an expert.
