Message	#1 priority will be a proper alignment. I'm not even talking about the Butler Tire alignment. A GOOD shop is needed to get the alignment dialed in, either for the street or the track. Alignment makes a HUGE difference, Adjustable tension rods and upper control arms up front will probably be needed to dial in the alignment. Should probably add adjustable rear upper arms to that list too. Make sure all of your bushings and ball joints are good throughout your suspension, otherwise your $2000 coilovers won't do squat. I did ES poly bushings in my subframe mounts, diff mounts, and all control arms, and I have no wheel hop when the tires begin to lose traction. Also have no squeaky suspension after 1+ year and 30k+ miles. SRC="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l284/shawtaehunter11/shot.jpg ">
