It did really well in the rain. I also had a best 60' of a 1.66 60'. That was with a completely stock suspension at the time.

    It was going to be June 30th till you can get a set of 315 MT's, so I got the Hoosiers. I got a set of Nitto's for everyday driving.

    Damn! that's ridiculous. I need to order a set soon.

    If you have nittos for everyday then the hoosiers should be great.

    I wouldnt be too depressed. Traction was pretty spotty for the early runs, then a pretty strong headwind the rest of the day.

    I put the strut tower brace on yesterday... it looks good, didn't really notice a big difference. I need to do some fancy driving to tell I guess. That dam Lou shorted me 1 bolt and 2 nuts lol. I have some ARP 3/8 12 point header bolts I'm going to put on instead.
