Slicks on Stock?

So, I was wondering, can our stock suspension take a few runs on slicks?

I have a friend with a set of slicks he will let me borrow, do you think it would be a bad idea to run a few times on them, or should I just wait a few months (possible a whole summer) and wait until I get my coil overs?

the suspension can take it... it's the axles and clutch that can not.

yeah, I run all the time on drag radials, you really need to do the wheel hop elimination mods and axle upgrades to run the slicks. Because, people are cracking the tranny casing becausue of too much wheel hop.
