What is with all the newbies spamming multiple forums with the same question!!! You only need to post it once, where it's relevant. Each section of the forum is pertinent to a different part of ownership or a different part of the car. Posting it many times will only seek to annoy people because it clutters everything.

With regards to your problem:

What tires are you using?
Have you checked the pressures?
When was the last time you had an alignment done?

I'd imagine one of you toe adjusters slipped during your drifting. I drift a lot...

Get a proper alignment, and be sure the guy makes the adjuster bolts TIGHT! Then you may drift all you want and the settings well hold.

1. Tires
2. Alignment
3. Suspension

You didn't mention the year of your S but that would help also.

If your tires are not adequate you will have an issue with grip, which manifests itself in steering feel, and a sign post embedded in the fender
Alignment, you will have a loose front or rear if your alignment is not correct, which can also cause the steering feel you are describing as loose.
Blown strut will cause float also

So put up some specs and details and we can help you out.
