Ok guys need abit of advice , I have a 420 kw xr6 turbo bf ute ...with a stock driveline and suspension set up , I’m looking at changing shocks but I’m not sure which way to go , pedders offers a few different types, but I’ve been put onto billstein by a suggested tyre shop who sounded very genuine , the billstien 2 way adjustmentable shocks are Nearly triple the price of the pedders brand at 5.5k , I’m just wondering what you guys have done to gain traction ... a coil over conversion is very costly , so I’m wondering if it’s worth it too put 4 link in, coil over conversion ? Or go with a custom leaf spring and adjustable shocks ... aim is to get 10s down the quarter , but still be able to take it sideways on track days like power cruise if possible

Hello all, I'm new to the forum and also to performance turbo in general ... I've just had my G6E Turbo modified, and I'm now getting 305rwkw out of it ... Which leads me to my question, which I'm sure is pretty elementary to most of you, but it's something I want to fix quickly. I'm having major problems getting my power down to the road. When I accelerate from a standing start, I just light up the Tyres ... As a result my 0-100 is much slower than before my power boost. Here are my vital statistics: - stock G6E Suspension - stock open diff - currently running 265/35R19 Michelin Pilot Super Sport on the rear The Tyres don't have much left on them ... Maybe 15 - 20%. Would my traction problems be mostly due to my tyre tread being a little low ... Or am I exceeding the capability of the Michelin's with the stock open diff? ... I see three options: 1. New Michelin's to give me more tread 2. Moving to even wider tyres ... Possibly 295's 3. Needing to invest in an LSD Option 1 is the most attractive from a cost point of view and also because I've already increased from the standard 245's to 265's in the name of traction. What are your thoughts?? ... I want to start posting some respectable 0 - 100 times. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Coatesy.
