i just put some cheap ass tyres i had lying in the garage on the rear as my rear tyres were shagged
however i have been having some probs to get the car to stay in a proper slide... i put them on for the sole purpose of drift rubber but they are utter wank, car feels very jelly like with high grip level on rear and sudden breakaway, even with 44psi rear pressure. -moral of story- cheap tyres not always better for drifting

I agree Karan,
the high powered jap drift cars use 17's still to drift! The lower profile makes drifting easier I think, less flex in the sidewalls.
40mm with 17's and lots of power and an LSD means there enough movement in the rear, but not too much, like standard.

it looked like ya springs had broken at the rear. keep the drop equal to avoid looking very strange and wrong.
but its what you like at the end of the day matey.

No Dave.
Its too low at the rear. Even if you level it out by taking the front down, I still think it'd look pooh. But I'm not really into "slammed" cars anyways.
Just IMHO.

My Cabby was 60mm all round, the track car is even lower... so don't give me that, Jasper!
Sport will be lowered as soon as I have sufficient funds to do so...
Bloody Rice boys... Phaaa!

Dave, IMHO, before looked okay (maybe even a tad low there) but after it looks plain silly.
Needless to say i voted before!
