Default Nittos and LCA'S

I was just wondering how much time I could expect to cut with my 99 SS with nittos, LCA'S and a panhard rod? I have previously run 13.3 @106 with out those mods. I hoping to brack into 12'S soon, could this do it?

Thanks in advance for any help, Kyle

If you have only been running street tires, I think that the nittos should be good for at least 3tenths by themselves

I agree. What were your 60ft times before? With some practice and a set of Nittos you'll be able to get those three tenths. Is this an M6 or an A4?

3-4 tenths wouldn't be unreasonable to expect.

Hey guys thanks for the help. The car is an A4, and my 60 foot times were consistantly 2.0's. So you think its possible to hit!!

I have a 2001 SS and have been able to get in the 12s with street tires,so you should be able to get there with the Nitto DRs.
