Wouldn't you want your suspension stiff, at least in the back.

Adjust your rear camber to put the tires on their edges for less traction.

If you are using rubber tires, you want the suspension stiff as possible so it will break traction, but if your using pvc/abs you want it soft as possible so it will get at least some traction

Tamiya TL01 Master, you make me feel ashamed to be an Australian...

On a lighter note: Here is a basic tutorial on how to make a set of drifting tires!
