    Lethal Performance has the 315/35/17 Hoosier's for $195 each, great deal considering they are going for over $300 at all the tire shops around here. I wanted to get the Mickey Thompson Street Radials but they are on back order until June so I figured i'd give the Hoosiers a shot, more than likely i'll need a new set of tires by June anyways since the tread wear on the Hoosiers is horrible. I'm just hoping 2nd gear has some sort of grab with them, bc these GSD3's are useless when it comes to traction.

    Yeah, I have a brace back there but that's it. Stock half shafts, bushing, springs etc etc, hell I don't even have FLSFC connectors on there yet. The car doesn't have much wheel hop but when it happens I get out of it, hopefully nothing breaks with these Hoosiers.

    You have a bit more power than I do but alot of my traction issues went away when I switched to a solid axle. May want to think about it.

    Yeah I know there are a lot of benefits, less weight, better traction, less likely to break/hop but the irs is one of those things that make these cars imo. I don't take the car to the track either so a sra isn't something I would be able to talk myself into. Plus I like how mine rides with the irs, I just need some cc plates and flsfc and i'll be set.


    Anyone going to the pavs this sat??
