Yes, the springs would help tremedously. You will need some hard springs in the rear to keep your car from "biting" in the rear.

I personally use soft in the front to soften the blow when I run over rocks, etc. I would think trhat the soft in the front will allow the front to bite so that you could swing the rear around easier though. I'm not really a drift expert.

I've got a buddy who's a Drifting S.O.B. in his Supra. He has the suspension kit as well with hard springs in the rear end and soft up front. It will make the Supra spin on a dime!

Good Luck!
