How much power are you making? Any issues with wheel hop? Standard height is 26", but you can go down some to get more gearing.

Hoosier QTP's 26x9.5x16
M&H 24.5x9.5x15

Remember you also need coilovers since the stock springs are too large to accomodate slicks without huge spacers or backspacing.

I have a set of M&H Racemasters 24.5x9.2x15 that I run and they are awesome. As Steve said you will need to run coilovers to do it right. I ran 1/4" wheel spacers and it worked alright but running spacers is not the best option.

I'd be willing to let these slicks go for a fair price as I'm going to go bigger when my car is back up and running this season.
