there is not a whole lot more I can do suspension wise besides going to a full drag shock/strut setup which i reaaaallly dont want to do since i street drive this car 99 % of the time
car already has welded subframe connectors, 9 inch, tunnel mounted torque arm, lcas, panhard bar etc
Nitto 275/60/15's are 26.75" tall. You may be able to find some middle ground.
I'm a fan of Mickey ET's.They seem to get more tread width on the same size tire as others but they don't last for shit.
Good thing about boost is you can work on bringing it on a little later once you get going. [Reply]

yea i dunno i really hooked better going to my hoosiers.. used to blow the ET streets off, they where not a lot better than my toyo proxes imo. The nitto compound isnt going to be worth a shit compared to the ET streets or hoosiers.
I mean there is a ton of factors that go into traction and im sure you can find a hundred guys claiming the opposite of what im saying lol [Reply]

Oh no I agree the Nitto is harder compound than Mickey and I haven't tried Hoosier, I may give them a shot next.
For some reason I just remembered the Nitto were a bit taller than than the Mickeys in the same size which makes no sense.
I have run the ET's and Nittos on my car running 50's and 60's. Neither hook up but the 50's seemed too short and the 60's are almost too tall. Amazing what 2" difference diameter of tire do to the RPM range. [Reply]
actually i just bought an ls3 2010 camaro a couple weeks ago and its a great driving rig. 6 speed (of course with the ls3)and we've already kicked around selling it (got a smoking deal on it, old guy that bought it new sold it to us for abut 8k les than they are going for with 60K on them) and buying a new zl1...
i really like the white and black and the blue ones. [Reply]
