Under certain road conditions I'll bet you can't get hardly anywhere, lol. Once I was just trying to start from a stoplight pretty much normally, like a civilized individual, and I sat there and squeeled just because of a combination of road material and temperature and my tires, and that was when I was all stock performane wise, haha.

Ok, crawl under your car, look at your lca's, you want the front mountof them to be higher than the rear mount/ they should be angled upwards toward the front of your car. If they are not you should get some relocation brackets, this will help. I have the Toyo proxes T1-R and they seem to hook up pretty well. You still have to baby it out of the hole.

I don't see a huge increase in horsepower from your sig. Perhaps it's just your driving style which needs modding now [8D]

those nitto555 streets are terible for traction... try some bfgoodrich drags there alot better
So are the new tread patterned Cooper Zeons, not the pattern that looks like v's in the middle.
