Every car in gt handles different so its hard to say what settings are right for one car type. But pretty much the first thing for maximum grip is to get racing suspension, racing soft, soft tyres, and racing mods.
For drift its just a matter of getting doing the follwing to ONLY the rear end:
- hard tyres
- soften up the spring rates
- lower the damper settings
- lowering the camber
- taking off any stabilisers or using soft ones
- lowering the downforce if you have race mods
of course its a bit of trial and error, but how else do you become an expert tuner?

Thinking about it now Im starting to get a bit frustrated with drifting. Has anyone download that video "Gran Dorifto 2". Well I cant get anywhere close to the level of sideways that you see in that clip all I get is a bit of tire smoke and wiggle from the rear end and if I try to get my car sideways end up pointing the wrong way
This is the best I can do with the EVO IV:
Parts List
--------------
Tyre Set Racing: S H
Brake Kit Racing
Brake Controller Yup
Suspension Kit Racing Support
Front Stabiliser Medium
Rear Stabiliser Normal
Computer Tuned Rom
Turbine Kit Spec 4
Gear Kit Racing Support
Flywheel Semi Racing
Clutch Triple
Propellor Shaft Carbon
Muffler; Air Filter Racing
Intercooler Racing
Settings
---------------
Front Rear
Spring Rate 4.4 1.9
Ride Height 133 133
Damper 5 1
Camber 2 0
Stabiliser 3 0
Brake 5 9
Turbo Boost Stock
Gear Ratios Stock
Down Force No race mods
If you find its a bit unstable change the rear stabiliser bar to a medium. You can also try swapping the tires to less grippy semi racing s h but I found this to be ridiculously understeery. But anyways play around with it and try applying these settings to other cars.

I warn you now Im no hotshot when it comes to drifting, I think drifting in GT1 is really best left to arcade mode. In sim mode with suspension settings maxed out you still cant get the arse to swing out enough when turning without spinning.
The best things to remember:
1. The more the arse is allowed to shift weight the more it drifts
2. The more weight gets shifted to the front the more the rear slides - wieght transfer is a crucial concept
3. More braking power = more drift
4. S H are best tyres for drifting
5. Its not so much whats going at the rear wheels but rather the contrast between whats happening at the front and the rear

I found the evo iv goes pretty well with stock settings for racing suspension, racing: s s tyres, brake settings etc. Basically anything you can do to it, do it coz yeah it only makes like 450 hp maxxed out (damn).
And I found that you could get that level of control without race mods so with race mods it should be a pretty technical car. I also found that the suspension settings (evo iv) are always a little too soft so try putting the spring rates up by 10 notches or so. the rear ones only go so far so usually you need to max that out. drop the car by 2mm or so at both ends and tighten up the damper settings by 1 or 2 notches.
