I don't want that.
As for what alignment are my rears set at? Probably OEM specs as I have yet to get an alignment done. I think I will on Friday at Break Check since they have a cheap plan for unlimited alignments. I might even go today.
Ad for the budget. I was hoping it would be a simple fix for like $500-$700. Darn!
Thanks again my friends.

but if you want drag radials go with the Nitto NT05R or something more along the lines of a mickey Thompson et street 2 maybe even hoosier's dot radial offerings.
the 888 is sticky but more for cornering. the other DR's listed have a tire compound meant specifically for drag racing. and remember to drop the PSI down on them too for the best chance of max grip. nice little burnout as well to get some heat in them.
also the stock axles in the Z are strong from what I've seen/heard so far. to be honest even the 600whp+ Z guys haven't really mentioned swapping them out unless i missed one or two builds.
