go with a drag radial and a 15inch tall rim, welds or something, the extra sidewall helps more then alot of ppl think. do uppers/lowers, front springs, and lakewoods or strange's all the way around, car will hook

yea i found nitto dr555r's for 145 each free shipping, is this a good deal? lol and i am new to this stuff what do you mean upper/lowers? front springs i was going to leave alone. worried about the rear end since i have alot of power down low.

uppers/lowers he means control arms. Also you could go with subframe connectors

With uppers and lower control arms, and a sticky tire you should be good, or you could good the route I am thinking about and build your rear end with 31 splines and diff and run a slick or drag radial and your traction issues will be gone.

yea my car is just a street machine not into the track stuff, but i was going to get the nittos cause i thought the price was good. are there cheaper ones than the nittos. i also will look into the lower/upper control arms too.

yea having a traction solution for the street is what i am looking for. i was looking at the upper/lower rear control arms on americanmuscle.com and they had good reviews. may end up getting them in the spring. but as for the tires what do you guys think? nittos or others, looking for the best price on them also. again found nittos nr555r for $145 each free ship. let me know what you come up with.
