What suspension should I buy for a drift car?
i have run HKS and KW3, the KW3 were the best set up, but depends how serious you want to get you will need to work on the geometry also, the IS chassis is very good for grip.....something even with 600+ hp still was a bit of a pain

My 1000HP IS300 Sportcross with AA80E ISF 8 speed transmission
i recommend running a supra diff and shafts i also suggest you make a heat shield for your clutch master cylinder, over time the heat will cause it to fail

Altezza Non Fog
yes the non fog was a base spec, its possible the plugs is behind the bumper regards aftermarket wireing if needed, if you know a decent auto electrician he would be able to identify in the look plug going into the stalk the correct wire, i dont have my diagrams to hand to identify it for you sorry

Warped Hubs?
Discs themselves - DO NOT WARP, unless there are very poor manufactured items the Warping comes from small amounts of built up pad material deposited on the disc surface, subsequent brake applications deposit pad material in the same place, until it starts to feel to the driver as though there is an issue with the disk i suspect that many of the replaced disks have been with Ebay products, Ebay and some motor factors are flooded with Fake Mintex discs the possibility of a hub issue are very real, however as some have done, using a run out gauge on the hub, and then with the disc fitted will identify this issue more often than not the issue is with the caliper, either corroded sliders, corroded pistons or crap build up on the caliper parts that the pads are located within. most caliper rebuilds ive seen have been very suspect, and short of completely refurbishing the caliper, have never solved the problems, always consider other causes before you believe what a parts fitter in a garage tells, you, the suspension on a modern car is quite complex with finite tolerances which wander as the components wear there are many reasons for shudder or breaking issues, non are really caused by warped disks
