[QUOTE="noldevin, post: 16028459, member: 166003"] I imagine it didn't have 20s stock. 20s are always going to be harder to hook on. Even though the tires are wider, they could actually grip less due to being a 20 with less sidewall. Width isn't everything. Which hole are the relocation brackets on? That could make a huge difference as well. The arms should be parallel with the ground, or slightly angled down towards the wheel. Never angled up towards the wheel. Temperature is another one. I know we've been having a weird fall on the east coast but there's been some cooler days. Those Michelins hate anything under like 65. Shocks and struts could certainly help. The stock ones don't like being lowered. I can't comment on Lakewood, but I know Bilsteins and Vikings are pretty well proven. You shouldn't need to spend thousands of dollars on the Cortex setup to get some grip, that's motorsports grade stuff. It's nice, but not necessary at all for the street. It also probably won't help much with those 20s. Maybe try a 275/40 in the back next time. [/QUOTE]
