I hit 1.8 on them with an m6 at 14psi. So Im happy, plus I will get my money out of them on the street too.

I currently have nitto street tires, with UMI 2pt SFC's. Stock shocks, springs and all suspention parts. Best 60 is a 2.3 on many launches. I cant seem to get ANY better at it.
I have a 10 bolt, and refuse to launch hard with it for now. Im probably making 330 to the wheels and want to get that power to the pavement before i do any other HP mods.
I heard removing the front swaybar helps?
Car is a M6.
Thanks

all the suspension mods in the world won't do a lick of good without a stickier tire. I threw on my stock tires one day (i have lca's, torque arm, phb, stock springs/shocks) and it spun just as bad as it did before my suspension mods. suspension parts help the sticky tire do it's job better.

Running street tires that were pretty good off the line I managed a best of 1.94* 60 foot. The very first day at the track with Nitto DR's I pulled a 1.72*, so the Nittos made a huge difference. Have to get them smoking hot, but when they are they hook great. With no additional mods and before the Nitto's I seen the exact same 60 foot times with Bilstein shocks as I did with the stock ones, but overall handling is much better with the Bilstein's.
