Default Time to play pick my next mod!!!

The choices are simple, full length subframe connectors from Maximum Motorsports, or drag radials and new tires on the front. I'm kind of in a toss up right now between the two. It'd be nice to have a little stiffer ride, but it would also be nice to have a fatter, stickier tire on the back and new tires on the front. My current tires are 225/55/16's all the way around. I've got a brand new set of 225/50/16Hankook Ventus k102 Z rated tires that will be going on the front, and I'd have to order in the245/50/16 555R's. They will both cost about the same also, the subframes plus install might be a tad bit cheaper than the tires though. Either way, I'm getting both of the modsbefore the track opens so I've still got time, I just need some help deciding which one should come before the other. What do ya think guys?

subframes obviously, gotta strengthen the car before you start launching it, unless you like driving down the road with your front end shifted many inches to either side.

its pretty unanomious(sp?) subframes last forever... and the will be cheap... those are only like 120... tires are at least 120 a piece... and radials wear out really fast... besides if u are gunna have a good grip on a lanch u also better have a strong chasis... less likely to brake sumthing
