I got stock rear with 275/35/18 Goodyear Eagle F1 All Season and stock gears, my 1st and 2nd gears are useless on the street. I need some suggestions on BEST route to spend $2000 to get some traction, re-gears vs wheels.

Or do a SRA swap.
I am going to go with SRA swap and bigger tires out back. I am going to get rid of my IRS since I broke it at the track, luckily I got it taken care of under warranty. I need to find a reputable manufacture for rims because I don’t want to spend my money on garbage.
I got 18x9 fr500s on rear right now. I did get some chrome saleen wheels from American Muscle but two of them were wobbling, so I took them off. Since I got a set of fr500s I might as well look for two 18x10s fr500s for the rear, I don't think anyone makes 10.5 fr500s. So who is reputable manufacturer for rims?
NT01s are great on the street.. Just have to be careful in the rain.. Been daily driving on mine for a year and a half with no complaints... I love the way they stick without the soft sidewall around turns.. I'm well over 600hp as well.
If you go SRA and you are making 600rwhp do yourself a favor and put atleast upper control arms in it. I ripped the bushings out of the stock uppers at 500 and no track passes on 555Rs. The lowers can stay but you need to replace the uppers as soon as you can. Make sure that when you put the uppers in the car that you clamp the torque boxes down or the arms will move around inside the torque boxes. Had to learn this the hard way.
ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?! No way in hell should the stock lowers stay. Out of everything going into a solid rear, the lower control arms help out with straight line traction the most!!!
Wide sticky tires!
