you think that deepened it up, wait until you go headers, full 3" exhaust, and an open cutout --- it's ungodly. i too play the parking garage alarm game and get my shizz and giggles ;)
One day I will have everything in my dreams. Yea about the Nitto's. Been reading about the Nexen N3000's on ls1tech and they seem to really like them. They say they hook pretty good. I also can get 4 of them mounted and balanced for $450 give or take without tax. Been quoted a few places for that.
@BallerMaro13, headers should be coming this week :), should be much louder, i dont think i'm ever going for cutout though.
electric cutouts are the best of both worlds, u should consider one definitely. i have my switch hidden under the pull out ashtray in the center console, and with just a quick touch, i can open it up full (where i keep it), or anywhere in between all the way to closed. you can run standard exhaust when you need, and open it up when you want --- a beautiful thing if you ask me.
not to mention how much it will do for your sound. i'm running pacesetters, a high flow, full 3" stainless borla and the cutout and i have to convince ppl i'm not packing 8 cylinders --- it's deep, loud, and aggressive. keep in mind i had flowmaster and a semi-complete 3" exhaust before i upgraded, so i can attest to the difference everything made --- you'd love it!

Alot depends on what tires and what not. My Sumitomo tires do not hook worth a crap and always spin no matter what. I am probably going to go with Nitto's next tire. I heard BFG's were good also. I have 22k on these Sumitomo HTRZ II's and they might have another 10-15k. Honestly they have been the worst riding tire I have ever owned. I am runnig 275/40/17
I have found its more in the suspension in getting my car hooking, I don't care about the tires hooking anymore just how long they will last, I have 275/40/17 M.T. street drag radials for the track to hook , BFG- G Gorce sports have lasted over 4 years and still look outstanding, about 15,000 miles on them. So I try not to get on them too much, no burnouts or foot braking on the streets. I'm will try Toyo's or my favorite Kuhmos this next time all around, or stick with the BFG's.

Well if its suspension then my car sucks.lol. I have UMI panhard bar, lower control arms and Koni 4/4's. Only thing left is sway bars and subframe connectors.
x2 on the cutouts... they sound awesome, but you can tone it down if need be... like me, I live in what basically amounts to a retirement community... and you can open it up when you want... plus it's just fun and something that you can show people that they may have never seen before...
Rebuilding the engine... Building a custom front end... T-top conversion... Custom rear hatch..
Custom interior...
haha yeah the look on my friends' faces when i hit that switch and you hear yourself think all the sudden --- priceless. usually something to the effect of "whoa dude how the f#ck did you do that?!" lol
as for the other stuff, yep, i've become a very big believer in suspension upgrades --- they make a world of difference for how the car behaves and launches.

I noticed the best stright line with the UMI adj. tunnel mount TQ arm, QA-1 shocks all the way around is also very well for it, since one can choose their ride height and have adj. pressure for the shocks. Sway bars a 21mm in the rear will help stright line and turns and subframes you'll noticed less vibration and more stiffness when on turns. Just have to make sure the rear isn't too big comparedd to the front , I run a 1LE 32mm front and 1LE 21mm rear with 1LE rear springs and it handles great with still planting the rear for off the line.

Yea I am going to get Strano's Swaybar's and UMI boxed Subframe weld-in connectors. I had a set of subframe connectors but sold them cause I needed money.
I hope they were bolt-in sub frame connectors in would be a pain to grind the welds off.LOL For my TQ arm I think its at -2 or +2 I forget but it def. plants the rear down more for traction. Your right about the Sumitto tires , it was hot today and after driving around for about 30 minutes getting on it, the rear was sliding all over. I thought they had a A traction rating , their alot softer than the BFG - G Force tires, but I thought the wider tire would hold up better. Will def. go different than the Sumittos next time around , turbo should be done in a couple of weeks so there goes more tire.LOL
