you are indeed wrong with some of your info. first, the heel-toe method is used to match the revs on downshifts. when downshifting you feel that sudden jolt from the car, which upsets the weight balance. upsetting the weight balance in this way actually causes oversteer and isnt wanted. so you brake with your toes and keep the revs up with your heel and downshift. keeping the revs up stops that jolt from happening and keeps the weight balance where you want it. next, 4 wheel drift is exactly that - where all 4 wheels are being drifted instead of just the rear tires. this isnt easy and is insane to do. you have to lose traction of all 4 four tires while maintaining control of the car. dont even try it. last, suspension can be as stiff as you want. JIC's S13 runs 16kg fronts and 12kg rears. you dont need anywhere near that high and that would not be driveable on the streets by any means. the coilovers i'm getting are set up as 8kg front and 6kg rear. stiffness doesnt change what type of driving you should do with the car as far as grip or drift.
