"ideal set up may be" ?

Like how can someone answer that?

Is it for a pure stock car?, bolt ons? turbo? supercharged? Nitro? 300H.P TQ? 400, 500, 800 H.P. 500 tq.???? Stock gears? 3:90's, 4:08's?

It's like asking what shoes will fit you

N.Y.? what part?

What are you using now? Tires/wheels. Sounds like you should know more than 99% of us.

Right now I am just running on my street setup I got 19" ssr sp3 With Mickey Thompson Et street 2 305/35 -19 on the back.

I was just wondering if anyone else out there has had a slick setup on these cars yet but doesn't seem to be the case so was just wondering if anyone has done it yet.

What's your set up now? Tires/wheels/ suspension not touched? Lowered? What was your 60' time? top speed?

What's your 60'?

Slicks helped me a bunch over same tire as yours. Also your wheels are too big & you have very thin/little rubber to work with.

my 60' on my 11.7 pass was a 2.0.

I know my wheels are a big that's just what I use in the street and am looking into a smaller wheel I am just not sure what the smallest I can go with our brakes ?

The car is lowered n Kw Variant coilovers
