Drag radials and lots of practice should get you there pretty quick.

I have learned that it takes practice to make these cars hook on the street.

dont just punch it on green, you have to ease into the throttle atleast till you hit 2nd, then go wide open.

LCA relocation brackets make a big difference even
on not-so-sticky tires. They are an easy install
(you might also consider some beefier LCAs but
I don't think these are as important) and make
for a lot better transient bite. I have the BMR
bolt-ins.

Yeah I just ordered all my suspension stuff except Torque Arm and Panhard... I hope it makes a difference still even though I don't have those two suspension parts.

You should defiantly look into some Nitto DR's. Great street tires except in the rain. Although they will require a slight heating they are great for the street. Good Luck

I don't know about you guys, but I'm personally waiting (for spring obviously) on the new MT ET Street radials. They look really good. Way sexier LOOK than the BFG's.
