V3? What happened to the turbo kit dude?

Also, what is your main goal with the suspension? Reason I ask is there is no need to get the adjustable lowers, the only thing you need to adjust is the upper. And its singular, not plural.
Went with the vortech cuz it was cheaper, I want my rear suspension to hook up with the added power of the blower, and from what I've been reading and my friend(senior master ford tech and high powered car enthusiast) advised was to get upper and lower control arms to help with that. Didn't specify which one, found a deal on corral and went with that.

If you got them for that then no complaints here. Just didn't want you spending $$$ on adjustability when you don't need it.

Suspension is good, but once you're blown your only hope at hooking is going to be some DR's man. Granted you're going with a centri, so its not as bad but still recommended.

Noted, when the weather gets warmer I'm going to look into a new set of rims and some wider tires, thinking MT ET Streets or Nitto NT05Rs

Personally, I'm going to start with the 555R's and work my way up from there. They are also like $150 a piece in 275/60/15's

Is yours a DD? If so I would def go with the 555R's because if you get caught in the rain with a ET Street you're screwed.

That is true, at the moment it is a DD, but I plan on getting another car as a DD towards the end of the year. I have 555s now, just not the R version, btw they actually work great in rain and snow surprisingly lol

The normal ones will be fine in the rain

The R's are a different animal because of the compound.

Are you doing the V3 install?

My buddy ran on balding ET streets for a while, he said if you were going above 50 in the rain then it would walk all over the place lol.

Any bald tire would do that, let alone a ET Street!

Ya he wasn't quite bald yet, but he was certainly at the point where he should have replaced them.
