Do you want the rear to be able to break loose or do you want the car to handle? If you want the car to handle, it's mostly the shocks. I'd pick at least Bilstein or KYB AGX's for shocks, or Koni's if money allows if you want the car the handle good. There are a lot of other things you can add on if you want your car to handle good for auto-x'ing. A search would help you if you want things to handle well.

An autox setup (something I do a lot) will help you a lot with that since we want balance, but not at the cost of having a loose car. I customer of mine would drift his car (stock power) on street tires (not anything fancy) and can hang it out pretty well--and he's got my setup on the car. One thing I can't help you with is steering angle.... you need more of it, F-bodies don't have a ton of it, and I'm not sure how you can get it.

Don't just throw parts at the car for the sake of doing it. Get in the car, drive it and learn what you want to change and need to change it.
To start you off good shocks will make a big difference.

Use search, there have been threads for this and there are members who drift their 4th gens and 3rd gens.
And Sam is right about the steering angle, 4th gens don't have enough.

the suspension was done to center my rear end and get rid of wheel hop... granted i think shocks would fix that also no?
SAM, what is your set up?
and as the steering angle goes, i remember before, a company made a yellow drift gto that they modified the angle somehow, but cant find the article

My setup is pretty well known...
Koni shocks, Strano springs and bars. Fays2 Watts link, Auburn Racer's differential, custom offset bushings in the front upper control arms, 1LE style rear control arm bushings.... Other stuff on the brakes, engine, exhaust, etc... but the suspension is what you are wondering about I think.

Shocks could fix wheel hop, but it depends on whats causing it in the first place.

So does anyone know how to get more steering angle? Its been a little while since I have looked over the front end, but I'm sure its not something as simple as modifying a steering stop.
The vid of the LS1 car drifting is badass, he slipped up a couple times but its still way better than watching some imports drift

Right but unless you can somehow get more side to side motion out of the rack and pinion it's one of those things were you have to give a little to get a little. In this case more angle but less leverage.
