Add good adjustable rear drag bar to the above
i had the et sreets spun badly even from a roll off i have changed a lot of susp.sence but have et drag radials have not done a dead stop launch but dead hook from a roll off going to the track next week

I haven't tryed ET radials, but i've had good luck with BFG's on 100% stock suspension..
I'll be trying a set of Draglites and ET Streets soon.
I've got some friends that have run the ET radials with good results.. but they aren't M6 cars

for a drag car or weekend warrior id get front and rear adjustable shocks, front drag springs, rear drag bar, chasis mount torque arm or the tranny relocation crossmember like im running and the lca relocation brackets and contorl arms, if you tune it right it will hook

I noticed my rear swaybar had twisted around the 12-bolt. I had a stock swaybar with 3" muffler clamps and poly bushings and endlinks. The muffler clamps had rotated on the rear end. I'd snugged 'em half a turn past Jesus tight, so I figured it was time to do a real drag bar.
The Wolfe welds 2 brackets to the axle tubes, and then welds tabs to the rear frame rails. Solid heim joints connect the rear bar (that goes between the 2 brackets) to the rear frame rails. This sucker won't twist.
I had a right rear airbag, and was still seeing a lot of suspension twist. Hoping this cures it. It'd be too radical for the street (IMO), but my car's a track car now. I think the BMR drag bar is more streetable, but operates along similar lines.

im stuck in the 1.60 1.65 range with my hoosier, trying to figure out if moving to the radials are going to hurt, or help.
