Now my question...I am tearing up cvd's left and right. My car is totally uncontrollable (running a spool in the rear, one way in front) with the 4.5 on asphalt. The springs are neo yellow (stiff) and whenever I go into a turn, it's like drift city. Which tires are the best to go with this high speed set-up? I am running the Hara Pro 4 and while it is a rocket, this uncontrollable-ness in turns is really a downer.
Spool in the rear!? Dude, get a ball diff in the rear, probably in the front as well unless you are good at driving a one-way.
