Default Which is better setup for Drifting?

ok this is a question that i was honestly thinking about. Would Stiff shocks be better or Soft? Say for instanse you pull a right turn, with soft shocks all of the weight would be shifted to the right side and gives the drift that extra push for the entry, as for the stiff it is held in one spot and the drift is leveled and not forced...

should have just tried it in the first place....heres what ive found to work best for my car(it is only good if you wanna drift with rubber tires, if you use pvc or abs tires you dont even need shocks)..i use a softer damper in the front to keep traction high with a purple sway bar to keep the car level and the ride height in front is low , as for the rear i set the ride height as heigh as possible to shift as much weight forward as possible and i use medium dampers with a purple sway bar... i use a rs4 3 .12ss..shocks are hpi pro, chrome springs, hpi sway bars, graphite upper deck, graphite shock towers
