Help: Im looking to get better traction off the line when I WOT

it. I currently have the stock 245/45/19 tires Pirelli P zero. Will installing a control arm and panhard bar help me? Is getting a Eibach pro system plus better idea? After my tires wear out(currently have 22k) on them I was thinking of getting either one size bigger 255/55/19 or if i could go a little bigger but i have to keep in mind the 8.5" rim..Go with either the Copper rs3 or Nitto Invo or Continental extreme dw? Want a tire that hooks up and handles well in the rain. Thanks

Did not hook well on my stock 255's. To really hook at the track you need DR's.
Went from a 12.5 with tune and stock tire to a 12.09 with just the addition of DR's. 60 went from a 2.0 to a 1.85

Dr's is your only answer for off the line traction. A 275/ 285 street tire won't show you much of a noticeable difference.

You need suspension components that will push the power to the ground ... one of those being LCA's. Depending on your budget ... we can put a package together for you.

Here is an article we did regarding a 9.0 sec. on the strip -
