Shocks are already adjustable for camber.

You can get -60mm springs, i had a set on mine, and ran on 17s with full interior without any scrubbing at all.
But ive just changed the back ones with volkswagen golf mark 4 tdi springs (also -60) because they are alot stiffer, which is what you want for drifting. And these worked a treat.

Dont waste youre money on camber bolts, when you lower it 60mm the rears lean in alot anyway. and i just keep the fronts normal.

The next think you will want to get for drifting is the diff from a 2.5 v6 AUTO from after 1998, which is a much higher ratio (4.22) compared to standard 3.0 (3.70) and weld that. This transforms the car and makes it  much easier to break traction.

i dunno where my springs came from because they were second hand, but they are definately -60, because i measured from the floor to wheel arch on each corner before and after fitting. I am pretty sure they are PI though, and i have seen them on ebay before.

I THINK that the manual 2.5 v6 diffs are 3.90

The 4.22 is definately the one to go for. acceleration is transformed and the car now hits the limiter in top gear at 149mph
