Default Suspension up grades

Hey everyone, I am new to the forum.
I have a 2001 C5 six speed, I ran with some porsches this weekend at the dragons tail in the mountians of NC and Tenn, what a blast, great road for mountian runs. Any how I did pretty well until I came out or a curve and tried the drag race thing! When I hit second gear my tires broke loose, I did a 360 and saved the car, thank god! I need some advice on what suspension up grades to do and suggestions on a good all around tire, I drive my corvette, its not a show car, it is pretty but I have fun with it, any suggestions would be appreciate, othe than improving my driving skills! Running with porches was a lot of fun! This car is a driver, thanks! Don S

If you did a 360 on a pubic road, the first thing you should do is adjust the nut behind the steering wheel.
