Default Quick 1/4 mile time help

I want to shave off some time on my last track day of the season. Right now my major problem is traction.

My suspension is completely stock other than the Subframes. Im not sure what the best thing I can do for traction is. I was looking into lca's, swaybar, panhard anything to help me hook a little better. A torque arm is out of the question because Spohn said they need to fabricate it as the orders come in and it will not be here in 2 weeks.

Sticky tires are out of the question because I dont have the cash for 2 rear prostars and a set of et streets (not radials) and no one can get them to me quick enough.

Any help on a quick go fast purchase?

Are you running on street tires? If so find some old 16's and put some ET streets on them, that should help. Then some LCA's and relocation brackets should be good.

Well what about this combo.

Rear wheels
15x10 Prostar
rear spacing 7 1/2
bolt pattern 5x4 3/4

Jegs part number 927-96-510284

and for tires
MT ET street (not radial)
28" x 12.5 x 15
Jegs part number 672-3755

im not sure if this is what I need or if those tires will even fit.
All I know is i need a LOT of tire and I dont want to have to hammer the wheel well. Grinding the caliper does not bother me, ill just take the angle grinder to it.

And seat time is not the problem, you cant get a car to hook with beat eagle f1's and n20 spraying.
