I disagree that FWD cars can't be drifted. The actual meaning of drift, is to move in a direction yawed from the direction of thrust, because the inertia of the movement before the turn is greater than the drag of the surface on which you're travelling. This applies to boats on the water, sleds on ice, and cars on any surface.
FWD cars can't power oversteer. If you think that is all that drifting is, than you are sadly mistaken. Power oversteer is only effective in very sharp corners, and even then it's very tricky to do it quickly with a fast and stable exit.
FWD cars can inertia drift, which is the fastest form of drift through almost all corners. In order to achieve this, you need a reasonable high rear spring rate, to resist weight transfer to the rear of the car during steady state cornering.
On my Civic Type R EK, this is the setup I run.
Springrate 8/11
Ride Height minimum for both front and rear
shock bound 4/8
shock rebound 4/8
camber 3.5/1.5
toe 1.5/1.5
LSD accel 55
LSD deccel 35
I like the shocks set up this way because it tends to load up the front under braking, making for more effective braking drifts, and it takes most of the understeer out of the car when on the gas. Throttle off, the car slightly tightens the line, and does not scrub much speed.
It's good to have a fairly high LSD deccel on a FWD drift car, keeps the front wheels hooked up better under braking, although it makes turn in a little stiffer. Since the EK type R is already pretty quick on the turn in, it doesn't bother me though.
Using this setup and driving a hard drift style, I pull low 1:29s on SS R5 with a 236 naturally aspirated engine, and super slick tires.
The trick to drifting a FWD is that you can't use poweroversteer to tighten the line, and that if you apply too much power, you will get power understeer. It's good to brake hard, and turn in fairly sharply, initiating a higher drift angle, and then just before the apex, get on the gas about 50%, and once you're back on the optimum line, apply power as you can, throttle steering to keep your line tight, and to keep from understeering too heavily under power.
