I noticed many nice set up turbo cars running 14's, and 15's. One Wheel Wonders

Haha, yeah, I beat them at the track regular like.

Skip the Quaife and run with the upgraded OBX. it will save you about 700$ easily.

Yup, (unless you are comfortable with the cash) check the wiki for the modifications needed on that.

Originally posted by TEAM OVER REV I am going to go the traction route and would like some help. What do you guys think of the follwing set up for drag racing: Ouaife Lsd 225/50/R16 Hoosier A6 Dr's Tien S-tech springs Short throw shifter Prothane Motormounts KYB Gr-2 Struts

I'm partial to the KYB AGX's, ajustability ftw. Soft in front and hard in back.

As for the springs, I like the Tiens for the street but if I'm looking at straight strip, a couple of things; I want the front end to be lower than the back end. I used the Tiens on the fronts and stock height on the backs. While I did that in my DD, it just wasn't as much fun in cornering out on the road (though when I put my 18 x 7.5's on, it was much better). I also did a set-up with the 2" drop Megan's in front and stock in back. I like that extra 1/2" or so much better. I'm not sure of the ride quality on full Megan's, so I don't know if I would go that route for the road. I would definitely be comfortable with the Tiens all around on the road.

Cool, with the Prothanes on the daily. If you aren't scared of louder cruising and higher vibrations, then go with the solid front roll stop mount.

I would rather have a 15" tire on the front, but with availability/cost of rims and tires, I'm thinking the 16's are what you want. Get as much sidewall as you comfortably can.
