So basically traction is a big issue right now.

Do they make QA1's for the 5th gens?
In my research, QA1's came up most frequently, but for 4th Gens. But I've never gone beyond sways and drag bags before now, so I want to research more before I go coilovers or the full Pedders treatment.

I think Mickey Thompson DR's would give me the 100% jab on the launch that I am looking for. But I don't see below 1.60 without more power.

Oh, I forgot, I got under it yesterday: one U-mount of the rear sway (not on the links, but where it bolts to the frame) is partially pulled out. Still appears to work. I'll get a pic later, but it was that way for all my runs yesterday, including the 1.6 and 1.70's.
