    KW v2 last editions here.
    AMAZING around corners & much improved ride quality over stock.
    Traction off the line is more a function of tires and throttle control then suspension setup BUT, my car doesnt rock back when I floor it nor dive forward when I brake hard.

    If traction off the line is your only prioity, then get semi slicks.

    Daaaamn they do look the part!!

    Rolling just involve folding the lip of the fender. You can get bodyshops to do it for you, but if you want to tackle it yourself, you'll need a blow dryer and a metal baseball bat. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDTK9IjKIYU

    Probably best to leave it to the bodyshop
