I haven't done anything to the rear yet, but my car is mostly a street car that I take to the strip occasionally. I just put on some Lakewood 70/30s on the front and removed the front sway bar. Still rides fine on the road, sways a little more from side to side around curves (obviously from sway bar removal) but not bad at all. With the ET Streets, it plants pretty good at the strip too. I need to put some 50/50's, new control arms, and reinforce torque boxes in the rear to make it better. A friend of mine at work just bought a Z06 Vette and he's out to get me now. We raced at the strip the other night and the only thing that saved me was getting out of the hole quicker thanks to the struts and tires. I was getting 1.9 60' times compared to his 2.2s and that was the difference.
