The reason the factory puts on the quad shocks in the first place is that the factory control arms have so much play in them and the bushings are so weak that they need the added control of the quad shock. If you have sub-frame connectors and good aftermarket upper and lower control arms you will find that the quad shock are just a hinderance to good differential performance. If the tires are also crap then you are still going to have problems. Briand is right on with the Nitto's, they are some of the best street/ strip tires you can get for the money and still drive in the rain reasonably well if forced to. Also tire wear is excellent for that type of tire. I have not seen much better avilable outside of a Hoosier Quick Time Pro, but then again they are a drag tire that is barely legal for the street and dangerous in the rain.
