Toe or Stab?

[Speeding drifter]

Do all you drifters like to use toe angle or stabs or a combination to drift?

"stabs?"
stabilizers?

Since you're not worried about how much drag you're adding to the car, I would say that massive toe out at the rear with a little toe in at the front would be the way to go.

But since purposely setting a car up to skid is still really really odd to me, I may not be correct.

for me i dont mess with the toe angle. i put the stablizers at an almost max point and i just camber them out a lil with 4.0 in front and 3.0 in the back

Yeah, exactly how I do it in my videos (Race Idiot) I also tend to make the rear spring rates higher than the front, have stiffer dampers on the rear of the car and a high rear brake bias.

Although this is for the cars that don't really want to drift, like my GT40 and the Lotus esprit.

Welcome to GTP, Drift Addict. As I said above, I'm not a drifter, but I do know a bit about car setup in real life.

It seems to me you don't want to run any camber at all in the rear. Adding camber (it's really negative camber, PD screwed up) is increasing grip during turns. If you're trying to get the car as loose as possible, I'd suggest 3 or 4 degrees up front like you are doing, but zero at the back to reduce the contact patch of the rear tires.
