Another question is what you want to accomplish with these mods. Drag? Track? Or just highway pulls. Do you just want to be fast or do you want a balanced well handling car?

If you just want to be fast on the street and on the highway then RE71R, Goodyear Supercar 3 or MPS4S in order of grip from greatest to least. You also might look into Falken RT660, Hankook RS4's, or Yoko AO52. Personally I love the RE71R's for track and street use. They are expensive and hard to find now however.

Yes, I would get tires before anything else if you are really about true performance.

Not interested in track performance currently, that would be an interest in a few years. Due to availability in my region, I believe ill be going for the MPS4S tonight.

Seems like LSD is the way to go as well, and coilovers when i save up some more.

Thanks

Enjoy being faster.

I dont have a custom tune, I have the OTS BM3 tune. I can probably do this optimization process once I get my turbo upgrade in the future

Once you move away from straight lines and want to improve grip on turns and such you need to focus on keeping the tires on the ground. That's when suspension comes in; coilovers, sway bars and the like. An LSD also helps here.

For straight line grip you need to focus on wheel spin and that is dictated by the tire compound, contact patch size, and slip differential between the powered wheels. If this was a racing domain than you would also add downforce here .
Focus people.

Thank you for your response, I fully agree!

It's in the configuration settings of your OTS tune. Boost reduction %. Turn it up. And at leat off the line, you WILL be faster.

Oh no way! Sick.
