if you're worried about how the slicks are gonna look, chances are you won't need them in the first place.

focus on suspension and drivetrain first, and then worry about slicks... At least a nice set of stiff springs to get rid of the weight transfer. If your car is like a teeter totter sending all the weight to the rear when you launch, you wont hook up, slicks or not...

Honestly, slicks are not as hard on driveline parts as most people think. Reason being, they have to "unwind" before they actually bite, which allows the drivetrain to preload. Drag radials are actually much harder on things because of the instant bite, and the higher possibility of wheel hop, the biggest killer of em all.....
