Default Drag tires!! Which???

I need to get Drag rubbers on to improve 60ft times (Mine was 2.1 with 18 inch Yoko's AVS sport & 3:23).
I got 3:73 now. I will only use them at the track.

Question: Should I go with BF G's g-force on 18's OR Nitto's on 18's, OR ET Streets on 16's??

the more comments the better.
My best time with 3:23's was 13.01@106.23mph with 2.1 60ft
No track time yet with 3:73's

M6 or A4?? Converter?
18's are heavy. If you are only going to use them at the track go with 16's w/ some E.T. Streets 26X10.5 or 26X11's. They hook way better then drag radials.

A4 no converter, Oh and would 26x10.5 fit on stock 2001 Z rims, I think they are 16x9inch.

Well I made up my mind got a great deal on MT ET street 26x11.5x16 and they fit nicely on stock rims for the track. can't wait to go at the track.I think I will mod with lower control arms and polyurethrane bushings for torq arm and sway bar first to minimise wheel hop.
thanks for the help guys.
It will be my first 12 second range pass (I hope). My mouth is watering.
