13's would be super with a TL. Your info doesn't indicate whether or not you have done anything to the engine. Have you?

Correct me if I'm wrong but with a better suspension, driving in a straight line, I don't know how you can improve on the performance, now if you were on a track where there were turns, now ..but again I may be w...rong...

The suspension does effect weight transfer during acceleration. The more weight on the driving wheels the better for traction. Unfortunately in front wheel drive cars it's in the wrong direction. I'm sure spring and dampening rates can be changed to keep as much weight as possible in the front from going to the back. Possibly a very stiff suspension? But probably very bad for the street where there are bumps and holes to deal with.

I moved this to Tires, Wheels & Suspension.

If you want to talk about suspension it is ok, but please post anything about meets in the Acurazine Meets Forum..
