To answer daemono's wholesale comment. It was actually the splitter first then the underpanels and sideskirts. I didn't notice too much oversteer with just the splitter so it seemed perfect for a/x; at this point didn't even need any other aero. But for drifting it felt as if I had a bit of understeer so I opt'd in getting the front canards.
Call me crazy, but I honestly like the torsen diff. I was thinking about getting a 2 way / 1.5 way to help kick out of a drift and connect to the next but wasn't really a big fan of clutch types.

I am no expert either.
But from that response, I can tell a few things.
1. not enough rear camber. need to work on alignment. no mention of toe settings.
2. Stock KW spring rates are pretty low on lower end models, not sure on the kwv3
3. no mention of damper settings front or rear, probably too stiff.
4. no mention of tire. need to work on alignment/tire temps/pressure
5. a/x and drifting are two different setups.
Alignment and Tire setup/tuning goes a long way. You can certainly buy a wing and it will probably help. But it will just mask problems in the current setup.
