Suspension/braking is 1000 times more important than a faster motor, anyone that argues against that is a fucking idiot.
Assuming you are wanting to drift- Learning in a low powered car with a well build suspension setup will make you a much better driver. Most every good driver will tell you they learned on an underpowered car. Even with a higher powered motor you will not be able to push the car very hard on stock suspension/brakes, or racelands for that matter because they have horrible valving/dampening as do most cheap coilover kits.
Also anyone who says screw suspension geometry is a moron. Having properly build suspension (if you're going to slam it you will need to correct bump steer, ackerman, etc etcc) is crucial to having a well performing car whether it is drift, auto x, time attack, ANY form of motorsport. Now if you're just going to be hard parking the car, then fuck it- disregard what ive said.
Last- Something that many people make (and you're young so learn from this and dont keep wasting money)- buying cheap parts and saying "oh well, ill just replace them soon for something better" will only cost you more money in the long run. Think about it, you just spent what, $600 bucks on racelands? Youll be lucky to sell them for $3-400. Rather than rushing to make your car look cool being slammed sitting in the garage, save your money for quality parts and let it sit stock a little longer. Id recommend looking into a set of Fortune Auto 500 series coilovers.
Not being an asshole, just trying to vere you in the right direction.
