subframes/adjustables
ok money is not going to allow for all the things that i want to do before the Dragon Run. so question is what is going to be more beneficial.
subframes or rear adjustable shocks? i already have adjustables on the front. problem i am having now is that the rear is bad to break lose in hard curves. i believe that most of this is coming from the low profile tires. any thoughts or suggestions. |

Re: subframes/adjustables
Assuming that you have stock rear shocks, my experience says that the rear shocks would be the better investment out of the two for road handling.

Re: subframes/adjustables
to not start another thread...Nitto's run a little smaller than most. is that correct? i dont have enough tire to fill the fender and cant go to a 275/35/18 because i will go back to having scrubbing issues. so i want to go to 265/40/18 which is supposed to be a 26.1 tire. i dont want to ruin my street gear with too tall a tire. any opinions.

Re: subframes/adjustables
Only the drag radials run smaller. from what we have seen on our cars the 555 street tires seem to be on par with other manufacturers

Re: subframes/adjustables
You need to learn to drive the gas pedal as if an egg is under your foot.
I have KYB gas adjust on my '85, and if you stomp on it hard through a fast turn it will light up the tire / tires depending on how good the posi is working, I think that this is actually fun to swing out the back end of the car at 85+MPH and counter steer though it Depending on how old the rear shocks are, I would look more towards the SFC's.
