slicks is a good thing if you want to go fast.

you can use slicks whether you have an LSD or not. You'll still get great 60fts without LSD. Our Civic Coupe went 10.60s with out the Quaife LSD.

check out the link on my signature. we have slick and wheel packages available.

Slicks are the best thing you can buy for your car if you plan on drag racing with a high-powered FWD car...
