OK, here's my opinion for you. Set it up for the slicks tire size. Try to maintain your original outside trackwidth and have the slicks extend inward some from there. Set up the frame for this setup. If you use some ladder bars, you can run a bolt-on panhard bar for the street, and remove it and use a bolt-on diagonal link on the ladder bars for the strip. As was said already, go for some good coil-overs and you will be happy.

I should say that if you are not going to do too much strip racing, try to limit the rear tire/wheel width as much as possible. I say this because when you set up the frame and suspension to acccomodate the slicks, it will inevitably narrow the frame. This, in turn, will narrow the distance between the suspension components. This means street driving will be affected because of the forces exerted on the narrowed structure when cornering. The wider the better on the suspension pieces for street performance. Remember that you can always raise the rear using the coil-overs and use even wider wheels/tires as long as the backspacing is good. I hope that this post makes sense. Too many things I want to say at the same time.....Whew!


Merry Christmas!
