Using DR's on a 10 bolt is similar to having sex w/o a condom. You might get by a few times but your gonna get something in the end. Some have gone into the 11's and some have broken their 10 bolts on street tires. On a borrowed set of 245 555R's I cut a 1.9 60 w current setup and the rear sounded like marbles in a can. I lifted immediately and coasted the rest of the track.

The A4s aren't as hard on the 10 bolt and the 6-speed cars. I've cut a 1.73 with Nittos and the only suspension mods I have are Spohn LCAs and a TA rearend cover

Mine help up for awhile on the street with Nittos til the other day when I wanted to be a badass The 10-bolt didnt take a liking to a 1-2 shift with a hundred shot too well. My gears were pretty much toothless circles Sucks because it was only the second time I sprayed.
