S@nt0s - that white coupe you posted a pic of, did you ever find out any more info on the wheel/tire/suspension combo?

right now i have a 225/50/15 BFG G-force t/a drag radial on a 15x7. but i will be getting the wheels widened to run a 275 Drag radial for this next season.

currently on a Megan street coilovers, i've seen now that megan makes new springs that might be better for drag use, anyone know of a set of HKS hypermax drag's for a s13?

A M/T et street is pretty much the same thing is a slick.. I have run both of them..

Its been a couple of years since lost to a little Honda.. that shit must be pissing you off hhuh..

Best slick is a hoosier slick.. something like 26-9.0-15 or 16

You will need a z32 tranny and axles to leave hard..


o btw... if you are drag racing and coming off the line hard.. unplug your air bags..

this happen to me not to long ago...

the white coupe runs hoosier also, im 90% sure.. and tein flex.. if i remember correct..

you are better off getting a et street.. that tire works perfect.. and you can drive to and from the track..

your best bet is stock springs/ struts.. or agx's and springs..

im pretty sure a 240s drivetrain could take slicks no prob. Just like any other car you risk breakin shit, thats part of drag racing a car that make any real power, or tourqe actually. If you are running ET's then you should be able to run a full slick.

megan has some lowering springs that are pretty soft, seems to let the suspension squat pretty hard.
