awsome thanks alot man!

^x2, they shouldn't give you any problems. They will be a little bit taller than the stockers though.

They will fit fine. I suggest being careful with the drag radials. The stock axles don't like them very much.

yea u most deff need mounts or bye bye axles.. im getting ready to run slicks, but am making sure i have the money for the axles in case mine break... I went to the track last night a dude with a 2007 cobalt ss/c w/400 miles on it and w/ Gm stage 2 broke a tranny mount cause of wheel hop.. mounts are very important and use common sense if u feel it start hoppin back off, its not worth it.. but neways heres the best prices i could find for the mounts..transaxle mounts (intense-racing.com) $85.00 poly transmission mounts (gravanatuning.com) $60 pair.. nekind of motor mount I have the ingalls

so do you think i should get the kdw's insted of the dr's?? i want them to stick to the road lol but with out breaking the axles so i dont spin so much dam tire when i go off the line on the street and track... i mean i wont be launching that hard i figure 2000 - 2300 launches.. think thats fine for the axles... ill have a 2.6inch pulley on it..

o i have all of bwoodys solid motor mounts.. and traction bars...

or how about the yokohama ADVAN Neova AD07

I would go with the dr's.. street tires = no no for traction but u wont break ur **** cause ur spinnin.. but i mean i race at the track A LOT and i got the best street tires i could get and still it aint doin the job im gunna run hoosier d.o.t. approved slicks on 16's.. i have a video of me racing at the track but am too lazy to upload it but i was getting no traction all the stangs and **** would kill my 60ft time, but soon as i shifted to second i would reel them in I cant imagine what would happen if i actually hooked up

do you have a link to the tires? you would want to look at the overall diameter of the tire to make sure it's not bigger or smaller than the factory ones so it doesn't throw your speedo or odometer off

Archie

I would suggest these tires if you are looking for super race grip, but you still want to get more than 3000 miles out of the tires. (you should get 20K no prob) And if you still want to break your axles, I'm sure you can still do it with these.
