BEST Daily Driver Big/Little setup for new GT...Step inside...with pics...

I was surprised how well they did. I think they can do better. I wanna see some 1.5X 60's with them before I put suspension stuff on it.

What's your best ET with the nitto's?

I don't have any "real" numbers to talk about. I took it to the track last week, they were having a 1/8 mile T-n-T for a bracket race they were having over the weekend. It was a last minute decision to go. I threw on the dr from my old coupe and figured id give them a shot. I was just out goofing off. The tire size was throwing off the shift points and tune so the cams were returning to "0" during shifts and was causing the car to be lazy. A good track tune will straighten that out and then I can get some real numbers.

So you got some good 60' times...looks like 1.6x...very good.

aren't DR's terrible on manual cars though? I would like a nice racestar set up for DD also, I just don't want to be breaking shit because of it

The more sidewall you get the better off you will be with the dr's and m6.

Got my Racestars on today. 15x8 rears with 255/60 M/Ts and 17x7 fronts with 215/55 Firestones. I might go to a 225/55 in the front, not sure yet. Wish they were just a little taller but we'll see when everything settles.

Car has basic bolt ons, Boss manifold, Circle D 5C, SR Performance springs and a Freedom Racing PHB.

How is rollover on turns? I have a turbo lowered car and was looking at the Yokohama 225/60R17 V rated AVID ENVigo. It is 27.7" and I am a little concerned about rollover. I hate that squishy feel.

Nitto will hook better than MT Street imo.

I like that too. What size are you running in the back? Tire and wheel.

What y'all runnin on a 17x7? So far my list is exactly as OP's. Priced out to $1678 with sway relo brackets.

215/55 or 225/55 seems to be the most popular and relatively cheap

This is seriously awesome, but I have major doubts on how this setup would look on my convertible since it's not trackable without a cage.

I also run 17x7s up front but use 215/55/17s. I run 15x10s out back with 275/60/15 Nitto 555Rs.

I know this is an old post but what springs do you have on this car? that stance is perfect and what I am looking for.
Thanks
