Hey guys, long time lurker here. I've got a 2012 GT Mt82 making around 550rwhp on a conservative JPC tune. 3.55 gears. I'm lowered on Eibach super sports. I'm running Forgestar F14's with Nitto Invo 315/35/20's on the rear.

Traction is pretty non existent. This a street car, no track time. Only driven a couple days a week.

I'm thinking my next mod will be either of the following options.

BMR rear lower control arms, upper mount and adjustable upper arm and relocation brackets.

Or

A new set of NITTO NTO5R drag radials in 315/35/20.

What's my best bang for the buck on traction help? The suspension would be about $640 or so. Tires would be pretty similar.

Thanks!!
Jeff

Drag radials hands down!!

I also have a paxton - 640/510 with 3.73's , so my street tires are useless.

But with my DR's (305/40/18 555R's) it's a whole new world, only spins below 20mph.

Interesting. I thought I'd get suspension votes.

Anybody running the Toyo R888's? I've got a set of Vossen cvt 20's I picked up used that have smaller falken tires. Too short. I've thought about putting some R888's on there.

The 315/35-20 NT05R's will probably be on back order for 2+ weeks, just a heads up. I just bought a set, no one had them in stock, but only took 2 weeks.
