Grip Issue

So I am currently putting down 385/385 with Nitto NT05's and every time i launch i spin my front tires extremely bad. Im thinking if I got a nice set of coil overs, I could adjust them to be stiffer in the back etc. Any done this or recommend a certain brand for this?

If you're racing, you need racing tires. If you're on the street you shouldn't be "launching".

Eh it's what people buy the cars for..... The OP never said whether he was on the street or track. You can't just assume he's on the street then slant the conversation in that direction. Give the guy a chance

What are you launching at? You shouldn't have traction issues at 385awhp unless your rear tires aren't spinning. Make sure your diff is spinning the back tires. Either that or you have some extremely worn tires which would spin all 4.

NT05s are lousy for launching, drag-racing, etc. The sidewall is too stuff.

No more rude posts, please.

Plus, the thread-starter seems to be ignoring this thread, anyway.
