Another post regarding AWD drift car tuning:
I wouldn't lower the car until you need to in order to go faster, which shouldn't be for a while. For as hard as you may have to push the car, you'll probably have your wallet pretty empty with replacement parts...
Messing with the suspension could be a mixed blessing: you could take corners faster because your car would handle better, but your traction circle would be bigger because your car would handle better. Eliminating body roll would most likely be the best thing to do, since your instinct will naturally tell you not to push the car when you're sitting on your arm. If you decide to get new rims, stick with something relatively narrow for now (no 8" wides yet) until you have no trouble at all breaking traction, since wide wheels generally mean more grip and a bigger traction circle.
The sensors in AWD usually compare road speed to axle speed and if the axles are going too fast then it transmits power to the AWD. Speaking of which, if you got tires on the front that were smaller in diameter than the origional ones, it might think that you're slipping all the time - even when you're not - and send power to the rears all the time. Of course, you would essentially turn the car into a 4x4 in 4-wheel mode and get crappy gas mileage (esp with 350 horse!).
