He already has solid mounts.


Other solution also....run a boost by gear setup.

I have a LSD, Im going to have to boost by gear I want to be able to hook on the street. I going to buy some 19's for this car. Get as wide as i can, I figure the 19's might gear it up a little.

you could try having your front wheels aligned toe out slightly, and make the rear suspension as stiff as possible. nothing you do will compare to racing slicks though.

bro you dont need 19's. if your serious about get some 18X9.5 and throw on some 275/35/18 and some nt01 and your good as gold. i have 18X9.5 and some 255/35/18 and i spin 1-2 if its from a dig and if its from a 40 roll i just spin the top of 3rd gear. but if you do go with 275/35/18 you will need to roll your fenders and if you wanna be real dropped you will have to pull them.let me know i got a hook up to roll fenders and pull them if needed. i also have a place that sells tires around 50% thread life for like 27 bucks and imean good tires like bridgestone re050 or michelin ps2 on some continental contact 3's let me know. text me

Get wider rubber, stiffer suspension, poly mounts and a REAL full locking LSD. Quaife is fine for low power, but OS is where BIG power shines
