Back into Buick's after 15 years off. Intro in the intro section.
I want to update the GN I just bought and have been reading your combos.
The car I bought ran 10.73@129 ten years ago for the previous owner. It came with the ten year old bias ply 28x10.5's and 26x4.5 MT fronts. Also has a basic passenger car set of KYB's. Already has a brand new modern turbo and a lot of supporting mods. I want to drop kick it into low 10's.
I'm thinking MT ET Street Radial Pro's (275/60)...thoughts? (my buddies LS/nitrous powered Mercury Zephyr wagon runs 5.70 1/8 mile times on these!)

What tire for my front skinnies though (if going with a radial rear tire)??
And for updating the shocks...I've been reading about the AFCO's and of course QA1's. Also see that Qa1 has a new pro coilover system. Thoughts on shocks???
AND last, it has a Wolfe Racecraft system on the rear but I was thinking about adding the Baseline Suspension adjustable "Pro-launch Gold" upper control arms?
