Default what difference can i expect?

well i need a new clutch so i plan on buying the act street strip clutch and the act prolite flywheel. also i need new tires and i plan to get falken azenis. i was wondering how much better will my car feel with these and how much will they help with auto x and 1/4 mile times. i run a 15.2 right now with cai and exhaust. do you think with the clutch and flywheel i might get at least a 15 or a 14.9. when i ran the 15.2 my clutch slipped alot i cant chirp my tires into 3rd or 2nd anymore. thanks for any feed back or suggestions.

Getting those will bump you into more difficult classes where you will prolly be slaughtered at an autocross.

yeah but the treadwear rating is soooo low like mid 200's or something for a 15". My kumho ecsta 712's on the other hand are 340 for 205/50/15. It all depends on the driver, my friend with a bolton rsx-s never pulled better than a 2.2-2.3 on his azenis/te 37's and i pulled consistent 2.1's with my 175/65/14 stock firestones/steelies
