I know that i want to concentrate on making the rear end stiff and making the front end grip. I dont have too deep of a budget so heres my short-term plan:
-upgrade rear shocks
-upgrade rear shock mounts
-lowering springs front and rear
-rear shock tower brace
-upgrade fuel injectors
-upgrade spark plugs, wires
so does anyone have any advice or suggestions regarding which specific parts to get or where to get them
Yes. I Suggest you learn what makes a car drift. Like an LSD perhaps. otherwise all those mods worth nothing.
Not even a car with 400bhp can drift whithout an LSD.
A 325 with a LSD doesn't need gravel or rain. It does it on tarmac.
But I don't think you'd like to make your road car a drift car, because drifting will demand too much from it, causing too much costs for a car you need to be running all the time.
Were you really serious, or just kidding with us?

Money can't buy you friends, but you do get a better class of enemy.
