What Spring Rate would you recommend for starting out drifting?
 
I have a completely stock 2013 FR-S, and I want to get into drifting. So what is the best spring rate in your opinion for drifting at stock power and a little above (around 250hp, as I'm looking to upgrade in the future). I also have to daily this car since I don't have two cars, but this is more of a suggestion than a hard cut line. I'm just here to have a fun time with my car.

Thanks

Just slide around on stock suspension for a bit first, get comfortable with the car, and go from there. It's honestly best to not go down the modding rabbit hole until you've out grown the car. I use bc coilovers at 8k all around, but I have just as much fun in my buddies bone stock rx8.

I know the spring rates for both twins changed multiple times over the years, but when I was still doing research prior to ownership, I found that 13 and 14 model year FR-S was best suited for easy drifting.
