Right now I have:
Springs - Eibach sportlines
Struts/shocks - Koni yellow
Wheels: 17x9, 17x10.5 Cobra replicas
Tires: 315/35-17 Nitto 555 G2 and NT05R
Also BMR lower control arms and Stifflers subframes
car is a 5 speed and 3.73 gears, 500whp
with the regular nittos I might as well be on ice in first and second. If it's 50/60 out it will even spin them for a bit in third
the drag radials let me punch it in second but it still spins for a bit. "Good enough" I guess, but I have to pedal it in first because anything over like 1/3rd throttle just smokes the tires
not sure what to run next spring. I am thinking of going to an eibach pro-kit because they have a much softer front spring so I can get the front to come up a little? Real stuff right now even with the front struts on full soft and rear shocks on full hard.
what about tires? Should i be okay with a 17x9 and run 275/40 MT ET street SS's?
or should I go down to a 15" and run a 26" drag radial?
I want to keep the existing rear wheels and nitto 555's for longer trips etc, I can sell the NT05R's and get something else if it's going to work better.
i would like something that launches better on the street instead of having to go from a roll
