Looking for better turn in (drift)

Looking to see what people have done to increase turn in/ initiation of the drift. I notice that I push a bit when I don't use the ebrake to initiate. I know camber bolts and neg camber in the front will help. Curious about sway set ups and anything else people have done.

My current set up is
Stock strut w eibach sportline (1.4" drop)
Stock wheels w 20mm spacer

Front camber bolts and front antidrive caster kit will solve alot of problems. Both are fairly cheap

A little bit of front toe-out will improve turn-in as well.

Serious question: how will camber bolts and negative camber help? I think you're going about this the wrong way.

To improve turn-in you need to run more toe-out in the front. Camber may feel like it improves your handling response, but it won't solve the problem you've posed.

One thing I've learned over the years is, if it's simply a matter of "feeling" when you go into/out of a turn, toe is the easiest way to change it up. I only change up caster/camber when I run out of other adjustment options.

Feel free to search the web for info on this topic. Here's a good overview:

You want more negative front camber for drifting. -3 degrees at least. Camber plates will get you there.

Get coils and LCAs and watch the magic happen.

Alignment parts will definitely help turn in!
