You're gonna get a lot of " this car wasnt meant for drag racing blah blah ". Meanwhile they think stancing their car looks good.

Soft springs in the rear
Adjustable shocks and struts
Bushing + Control arms
Tire with a lot of soft sidewall that is sticky.

Other than that you'll just need practice.

Yeh if you want to drag race at a track I would suggest a legit slick before suspension..but every ^he said will help and also maybe get a custom rear brake setup so you can fit 15's..thats what i want..

rear rotors are generally always significantly smaller than the front (don't have time to look up rotor diameter comparison from frz atm), but the fronts on frz fit 16" wheels, you sure the rears won't fit a 15 the way it is?
