i'd say go 24.5x8.5x13 slicks
maybe the 26's will work if the track prep is shitty all the time.

suspension-set it up as stiff as possible in the rear, and mid stiff on the front.
you can try adjusting the front at the track.

imo car needs to be aligned to the tire and ride height and driver weight that you are gonna go down the track with. rear ride height should match the front it should be level or slightly higher depending on spring rate. then you will have to dial it in at the track.

here is what i started at then dialed it in
