Yes I know that, but if you read several of my posts above you will see that is not an option as 16" is the smallest rim I can run with my Wilwood brakes, unless you know something I don't

The 26" slicks should work. Your going to lose some time because of the gear ratio change, unless you put down way more power. If you mabe went to an AWD transmission its a combo thats hard to beat. And it will put your ratio right where you want it.

Well I doubt I'm going to lose time vs my current street tire time, 13.6 @ 113 but yeah I know what your saying.

Well I have 26 x 10 Michey Thompsons true slicks on Weld Magnum drag wheels. I have stock ride height but i know for a fact that HAHN racecraft ran them with Eibach prokits on front. I have stock driveshafts as well and they didnt snap . I would never get anything else now. My first night at the track having never driven a car with slicks i was able to cut a 1.8 60 ft. I didnt preload anything just engaged my 2step and pop the clutch and hold on. Here is a video of my run.

Well I finally got my car back & took a quick measurement last night & unless the car wasn't sitting how it normally does, the 26" QTP's probably aren't an option with my current suspension. It measure 13" from the center of the wheel hub to the bottom of the fender. I'll have to double check but looks like I may have to go with the DR's.
