To all you drifters out there before you go out drifting make sure u inspect all of ride's suspension components specially tie rod ends and ball joints some of the cars we use for drifting are 10 years old or older and that means that those parts are tired and will give out soon also drifting puts an extreme amount of strees on these components and that means that they can go out anyday. so replacing ball joints and outer tie rod ends is a small price to pay to what could happen to you or if they brake while ur drifting or driving on the street. oh also before i forget try not to over torque your wheel lugnuts that can cause them to snap and that is not fun so look up the spec for your car most cars are 80 to 100ft Lbs if u dont know or are too lazy to look up the spec torque to 85ft Lbs.
 
yeah i saw one kazahiro Tanaka's tie rods break in practice at D1GP US v. JP and his car was going about 100 mph he lost all steering and skidded to a stop 5" from the wall i was sitting behind all i have to say is that those advans are awesome tires

word, I bent a tie rod and finally melted my rubber bushings last ter-tech event. I am torn between susp setup right now.

I can get Kazama parts at cost, but I do not think I need it all.
