The one thing I messed up when I got all the stuff for my car was shocks.
Everything you see if my sig, I did it all at one time. Gave them my stock car, got back a monster from bumper to bumper.
But.....for handling reasons I should have gotten Koni shocks, instead of QA1 Hals. I just didn't know that they were for drag racing more than handling.
Even though it handles friggin awesome....I wish I would have gotten Koni's.
Tires.....I've tried many different combos in 11+ years with this car. The combo I have on here now is my 3rd set in like 6 years. Nitto 555/GY GS-D3. The best dry and WET traction, and they handle solid as a rock. The wear nobody will ever believe, I put 17,000 miles on each set. I currently have about 13,000 on this 3rd set and they're actually very good still.
Front: 275/40/17 Nitto 555's
Rear: (stock WS6 rims) 315/35/17 Goodyear GS-D3
and yes, the 315's on stock rims wear perfectly even all 17,000 miles, so don't let anyone tell you it doesn't work, its perfect. I know they would plant down a little wider with an 11" or 12" rim but I didn't feel like buying new rims yet.
The GS-D3's grip just like when I tried out some 315 BFG drag radials on dry pavement...on the street anyway, never hit the track. Plus the Nitto/GS-D3 combo in the rain....****** AMAZING, period.
