Need advice on drift tune

Alright I'm trying to drift with the '60 corvette, it works for me and I find it more fun to drift than any other car I own. I do have some trouble with my tuning that I'm not sure how to address. In tight technical areas it works flawlessly, but in high speed turns drifting becomes difficult. When doing wide sweeping turns I either slide off the track or my approach is too slow and I push towards the inside of the track forcing me to correct this with the e-brake. So I find myself either sliding off the track or pushing towards the inside of the apex instead of smoothly drifting through the curve. I hope that makes sense.

My settings are this
HP: 644 hp
Weight: 1264 kg

comfort hard for both ends

LSD: 5/45/5

Right height: -40/-40
Spring rate: 10.0/13.5
Dampers E: 4/5
Dampers C: 4/5
Role Bars: 2/2

Camber: 3.5/1.0
toe: 0.0/.05

Brakes: 5/6

Any help or advice is appreciated, I just recently become interested in drifting in the game so my tuning might be completely out in left field.
 
I'm not all that great on tuning, but if you want the rear to slide out faster, I suggest reseting all the suspension settings to default and make the front spring rate 3.0 higher then the rear, and dampers keep the E: 5/4 C: 3/3 Roll Bars: 5/4

Had the same problem when i started drifting.
if you don't want to drift to much into the corner it is crucial to keep you'r speed up.
also try adding just a bit more front camber and a stiffer anti roll bar at the back...

about sliding off the track, try adjusting your gear ratio so it fits the speed you
supposed to be doing i order to drift the corner, letting off the throttle gently
and straight out your steering wheel just a bit to get more angle.

Hope this helped.
 
Alright i figured out what the problem was, it wasnt my tune which did get better with your advice but more so was my technique. I was trying to drift too fast through turns i switch my tires to com mediums on the back and front and found that its much easier to hold my line and more stable at high speeds. I had to stiffen up the back and drop the transmission top speed a bit more so the rear end breaks loose easier without it trying to oversteer entering turns and it doesnt try to snap around during switchbacks causeing me to spin out or loose my drift. Thanks for the help guys
 
@Johnyboy532:
If its realism you want you may want to change the tires to comfort hard
its more realistic, a bit more challenging and a hell of a good time.
