Default RE: Hooked suspension

What tires do you or anyone on here recommend for street to hhok well? As fas as wheels Im onlt running the ponies. But my tires suck. I would like to get something that hooks.
ORIGINAL: nitrous_bob

ORIGINAL: 5liter87

maybe 5% of that at the track, so is a drag setup worth it? i mean, if im going to be hitting corners hard and fast, i suppose i wouldnt want that setup right?
try this, you can TO A POINT have a dual purpose suspension setup

mega-bite jr LCA's will improve handling and hook in a HUGE way

the right side airbag ($30 by itself) helps launch a lot

kyb at all corners will be noticible alot

energy suspension poly kit with everything else i said will make it handle like an older vette , and also increase the traction loads

but the bottom line is this, w/out a good tire (no street tire will do gotta be a DR or better) you will never be able to launch any higher than idle and slip the clutch til your going, it just won't happen , hook is MOSTLY about the tire

but the things i said will drastically improve handling, and greatly help traction
