I largely agree with the initial post, but I'd beg to differ a little bit...
IMHO, here is what you need for a well setup drift car:
1 - Fix what's broken (TC Rods, Leaky PS rack, Overheating, Drivetrain layout, auto to 5-speed etc)
2 - Coilovers
3 - Racing Seat
4 - LSD
5 - Tires, Gas, Maintenence, Practice, repeat
Anything else is just icing on the cake.
You DON'T need:
Lots of power
Lots of steering angle
Hydraulic Ebrake
"Wheel fitment"
Short shifter
Drift button
Harness
Cage
Carbon fiber anything
Coilovers are available for just about anything - If you can get Koni Yellows for it, you can build coilovers for it.
I'd also like to rephrase "good aftermarket support" into "readily available replacement parts". I think the justification is obvious.
