Drift setup for my SC300
I bought my car with the intentions on sliding it and having fun driving. The car isnt setup for it now and I want to build it right the first time. So Im considering a CNC Staging Brake or Hydro E-Brake, LSD, Coilovers, some carbon body panels and LS400 Brakes. Would this be considered a decent setup or do I need to go back to the drawing board? Whats the difference in a staging brake and hydro e-brake or are they the same? Im a newb at this so bare with me guys. Any recommendations on companies that are good and where can I get those said parts? All comments/help are greatly appreciated.

Other than that you should be good. Start with a clutch kick and start rotating. Best of luck to you bro. It's easier said than done. Our cars are heavy but eventually you will get the hang of it. I would suggest picking up a set of Stance coilovers and adding the helper springs as well. Get your suspension sorted out. Bushings and all that good stuff. Stay away from a really beefy sway bar in the rear. If you really want an LSD, make sure it's a 2 way. Just get out there and practice. I don't think I said that yet. Oh don't forget a helmet.

Hey man i just started sliding my SC300 this year. Like KWG said i tink the best things you need first are Coilovers, LSD plus a bucket seat. Just go to some events and practice and get used to it before you dump money. Theres no need for a hyd e brake, just get some good pads int the rear like projectmu. Really it all comes down to practice man.
For coilovers some good brands are:
$1000
-Powered by Max
-Stance
-BC Racing
For an LSD:
You can weld it if ur short budget or u can get
-ATS
-CUSCO
-KAAZ
-TRD
Honestly people ask why a bucket seat. Let me say drifting in those leathers seats suck. Your always slidin around in them. A bucket seat will keep you in your seat.
Im not a professional drifter, Im just letting you know what i know. Theres plenty of people here that know more then me, so hopefully they give there advice.
hope that helps

Coilovers, Diff, bucket seat and your done. thats all you need to get started. once you get that done get a 1jz or some kind of forced induction and you will be fine.
if you plan at being competitive in the SC chassis you will need steering angle mods, S chassis even in stock form has more than a SC.

PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE. Save money and buy tires, then burn them off. The only thing you will need right away is a LSD or a welded diff. After that coilovers. To answer your question though a "staging brake" as you call it is called Roll control. Its for doing burnouts on the dragstrip and you will not gain a thing in the drifting world. As for the hydro ebrake, they are awsome however not for you right now. Tires, drift spare wheels, entry into events is money well spent

ive got the same setup on my whip, the only thing i would do different is add alot of camber in the front 2-3 degrees. rear camber isnt as important. and try unhooking the front sway bar and see if you like it. i did it on mine and love it. never understeers only oversteer meow

$1 for the "spin ****" mod and be done with it. Like I said money well spent on tires and event entry fees not roll controll and carbon doors. IMO
ILLRoller I followed your sc300 build on Ziptied before it was locked.

Id rather not have it and disable the ABS so when I slam on the brakes all 4 can lock when Im sideways for that long strait. plus why not just spend the

A diff and a working ebrake are pretty essential for learning to drift, and coilovers and a bucket help a ton... Beyond that and some angle mods nothing is necessary.

Yea but like I said im still into spin **** with lsd and coils. Plus lots and lots of practice time. Im on the fence about roll control. If I wanted to mess with my hydro side of the ebrake. Id go for the regular hydro ebrake and not roll control. I guess different things work for different people.
