Welded diff, if done right, won't break axles with a stock motor.
and 17's aren't hard to break loose, lol. In fact, easier, a 215/45 on a 17x9
reacts like a fucking dream, so solid feeling in the rear.
Get an ACT Heavy duty unsprung 6 disc.
and Functioning car < Looking rad in drifting.

welded diff number one, coils number two. 17's front 15's rear. lol and agree w/ above statement looking good>function.. buy used coils or get cheap new ones. dont dish out for top of the line you wont notice a difference yet. clutch kick clutch kick clutch kick make shure u have power steering. i daily a welded on 18x10 rear and occasionally slide on those tires never hurt a stock axel and tire wear isnt noticable when your into drifting.

You can get new ones between 650 and 850. I am pretty sure those god speed coilovers are right around 650 new on ebay.

17/15 stagger is horrible.
On the cheap, get a decent set of good offset 15's, and then run oem wheels for rear spares.
But I have never supported the staggered drift setup, it makes the car feel horribly weird, lots of tire roll in the back, and firm in the front.
or 16's, good medium there.

Also im tired of people and the "power steering is a necessity" kick. Is it easier? Sure. But I cant count how many PM's ive gotten over time asking if they really need it because so and so told them they wont be able to slide if they dont have it. Personally I cant stand power steering in a car to slide, of course that's because im used to it but im just sick of people telling others you HAVE to have it. It's false!..And yes I am this bored to write all that

Absolutely. I ran 15's for awhile with SE's in the rear, and then switched to 16's as the 15's werent big enough to go as low as I wanted but 16's were still far more affordable than 17's(as far as tires).

Re: getting ready 4 drifting (to all 240sx owners)
since all coilovers are available online only (not sure if i will get them by sat)I decided to get shock/spring setup. I found Eibach Pro-Kit Spring Set (1.6/1.9' drop) with kyb agx. Do you think i can use gr2s upfront? (they are 2x cheaper)

I dont know how soon your looking to get your coilovers, but I can sell a set of KYB AGX with Tein springs in a month or two. I'm going to be using these temporarily as my other coilovers are getting built.
