well these tires are pretty new, and it would be expensive to get more tires for just going to the track, i dont go too often, maybe once every 2 months or so. I also want to have fun on the street. hmmm well. i might go with LCAs then.


hey local yokel, what kind of tires were u running when u got a 1.74

screw UDPs, their gains are minimal. Nitto 555s are street tires and don't belong on the track. Hell, my NT555R's spun in second, again on a lift-throttle 1-2 upshift, and then chirped third on the 2-3 upshift, and that was after heating them up and running them at a low psi, on a car with 4.10s with not even 300rwhp. If you're wheel hopping get some rear ca's, upper and lower preferably. Get some real tires, namely MT et drags which will sooner snap a driveline component than spin, I don't care if you're pushing 500rwhp and launching at six grand. And get 4.10s if you're MT and 3.73s if you're AT, I didn't notice that. Sooooo, gets ca's, gears and real tires. PS If you're in FL I'm selling some mickeys, nittos and takeoffs

LCA's! wheelhop will break your ****. Leave that to the ricers. I was running consistent 2.0's with just suspension and stock tires. You can't beat a set of drag radials though. I've been running my M&H 275/50/17's on the street ever since the whipple install and they stick great even without a good warm up. I have upper and lower control arms and no wheelhop.

And relocation brackets, but only because i'm lowered. I need to get those welded in.

[align=left]OK well, i might end up getting the control arms... but i would like to know what your opinion would be if i said i am not going to be going to the track i just want it to have fun on the street, would u change ur option to 4.10's? Or stay with LCA's anyways?
