Looks like fun, but when I saw slicks and gears all I can think about is the pictures from the E V12 car. Are you upgrading the driveline to handle the extra traction?

Nah, they are 28" slicks with a more forgiving sidewall. Drag radials are actually more harsh on the drive line due to their rigid sidewall. If you dead hook with a drag radial verse dead hooking with a full slick, the drag radial is more prone to cause damage.
I have a spare driveshaft anyway

They will fit brotha, just need to raise it up in the rear. They are the Hoosier Slicks 28" tall. Make sure you run at least 27.5" front runners to prevent the cel code.

Craig if you use a SDS to change your vehicles tires to a CLK BS you shouldn't get the CEL with stock front tires.
