lowest i dropped them was 17 dont think it will make that much of a diference dropping 2 more pound right? we will see how it dose with the stock suspension tho should put more weight to the back tire and get better traction with out front sway bar .

Yea it will help for sure, go on down to 14psi it aint gonna hurt anything.
I run my et streets at 14psi and launch off the rev limiter at 7000 its quiet fun lol.

I was pulling mid-high 1.4x with similar mods on Mickey Thompsons on 17x11 ZR1s. Its been awhile but I think I had them around 12-14psi. On the brakes and only revving up to about 2300rpms.

i also need stock springs. i might go by the local junk yard. to see if i find any. i know that will help the 60 and traction some. i have nuckles on the back springs to hold them up so the tires wont rub. so a have a couple things going against me at the moment. for the time being im happy with the results for my first time...

a buddy of mine ran 8.22 in a 2002 z28 A4 with nittos, cutouts and a tune.
(basically stock) (course since it was a 02 he had a ls6 intake)


so you should be in the 7s already.

hell my best was 8.52 on nexens. and i had never raced before(legally)
