you could put it on the bottle, but that could be risky i like the sound of a rear seat delete i would like to do that but i have not seen a kit to do it.

ORIGINAL: brownboy2020

get some drag radials
not a bad idea, but if i get tires i want really really fat ones and i cant fit fat ones on stock rims. so ill need new rims which will cost $$$$ because i want to convert to 5 lug and 31 spling axles too.. tires lead to a sh-tload of expenses so cant do that...

then again i can just get 255/50/15 drag radials for now until i get money for a complete 5 lug rear. i might do that.

Eibach drag launch kit. It's 4 new springs with an airbag in the right rear. $269 from summitracing. Eibach claims they take 0.4 seconds of your quarter.
