For my '91 hatchback 240sx I plan to put an LS1 in it. For suspension I plan on some Fortune Auto coil overs. A welded stock differential since its only track car. For suspension arms I don't think they have to be very top of the line parts for the time being. Godspeed suspension kit is like $300 for all the arms and links. Would that be good?
Good setup?

Do you wear tight jeans?
No like I hear a lot of bad reviews about Godspeed. I know their coilovers suck but do suspension arms really make that big of a deal if they're super high quality ones or cheap stuff?

Do you have specific reasons why you picked the parts/swap that you did? Or you are going off of what you see everyone run?
Only reason I say this, is because you seem to be getting ahead of yourself. (judging from your intro thread) Why don't you just go to the skidpad check it out.
Get a welded and slide it like that, from there decide what you should get next. Look at Urban (I think thats his name here) he kills it in a stock hatch with just a welded. Take it slow learn the basics and then improve.
On a sidenote, the more experienced people might provide better info, since I dont really have too much.

f'ing lawlllllllll!
Well the car has no engine. I'm in no rush to start driving it since it'll be only track. I'd rather save money and gO v8 now so I won't have to later.

my opinion would be if this is your first drift car (which it sounds like it since your asking such basic questions) that you start with something a little more low powered .. that way your actually forced to learn car control and not just throttle control (on a ls it's basically on/off)
so ditch the V8 idea scoop up a DOHC ka, welded, good suspension (ie full arms,subframe inserts,coils,strut bars,sway bar end links) a bucket seat lots of 205's and god learn car control... you'll have a much easier time how to control the car and then once you've gotten comfortable with the car and current power THEN upgrade....you'll be much happier going this route then starting with a big motor

don't cheap out on suspension arms. I had gotten some crappy ebay ones from a friend for free and the welds were cracking.
