at the last event, i played around with some of the stiffer settings on my AGX's and had pretty good luck (was running 7 on both rears and i think i eventually bumped them all the way to 8).

For drift, you should go fuckin' nuts on the compression dampening, and let it rebound as eaisely as it can... (The opposite of what is ideal for traction racing, and you will get more of the 'secondary motion' that is integral to drift, similar affects to stretching tires and overpressuring them.)
your 240's gonna have a lot more understeering tennancy than I was used to in my corolla, so you might do well to sway bar the everlovingshit out of the rear (I've seen guys hose-clamp two stock swaybars together and call it done)

Daily driving? Well, leave the settings for drift specs and get a police scanner and a lucky rabbit's foot.

www.southeastdrift.com and join the forum there. SEDA's first event will be "lucky slides" on the 20th of this month at atlanta dragway. price is a little steep @ $110, but $35 of that is joining SEDA and being able to get into future events without paying membership fees, and you get a t-shirt and SEDA logos for your car. the money is being put to good use though, to set up more local events so future events will be about $75 for members.

and if you come out i will definitely do ridealongs with you and give you some pointers, and let you ride along with me if you want.

if you're respectful of the other people at SCCA events, you can get a few runs for a lot cheaper, espically if you can make it to the Test'n'Tune.
If you show up like an asshat, and just go plowing through cones and doing burnouts towards course workers, they're gonna get displeased.

Normal Novice Schools or Test'n'Tunes generally have a couple long sweepers that are good at learning feint-into and understeer-to-power-over transitions, as well as some tight boxes to work at continual drift execution (fishtail through a chicago box), then a really tight 180 to kick it loose like a hooligan... (And all for $50 bones). Laugh with the serious SCCA people and try not to be a coneslayer and you'll have a great time... but I will warn you, they aren't a big fan of drifters, in the same way they look down their conedodging nose at everyone else.
