Running BFG drag radials ?? - Club3G Forum : Mitsubishi Eclipse 3G Forums

NaplesGT · 05/06/2012, 10:30 PM

Hey guys I needed some help with some questions so I came here. I currently have 250hp and 310tq at the wheels. The problem with that power is its hard to get down to the ground. Bottom line I want to run BFG drag radials but I have a stock lsd do I have to worry a great deal about breaking that? Yes, I understand with racing somethings can break but I just wanted to know my chances of right away or 2 years from now. Thanks to anyone with helpful advice!

You will break it.

It gets broken at stock power levels on a regular basis. Do a little math, it's going to break. Infact, as soon as you thought about drag radials it broke. Next time you go out to the car, it'll be pre-broken.

Replace the factory diff with a quaife LSD and you will be good to go on the drag radials. I recommend wesellcarparts.com for the distributor, as they had my LSD out quickly after payment & contact has always been good when doing business with them.

what about a wavetrac or is it just a personal preference thing.

Have you looked into that information before? If so, what have you determined based off your findings? Based on your response, I'll answer your question

Dont run bfg drag radials they're garbage. Go with MH or M/T drag radials.

Mickey's all day. And don't listen to that guy ^

Wavetrac's are great, I absolutely love mine. Throw one of those bad boys in and go grab a set of M/T's and you'll hook all day long.

A set of Prothane FLCA bushings would do you some justice as well.
