It's all in the weight transfer, traction, and power. Get as much weight off the front end as you can, get some slicks, and some power.

Darrell's the wheelie man around these parts... check out some of his videos.

yeap, the basics would be 90/10 lakewood struts, lakewood 50/50 shocks rear, eibach drag springs, upper and lower control arms. Then some et drags, 6000rpm lauches and pray lol. At least thats how i did it with only 285hp.

Are you trying to attempt this with your car? What is all done to your car right now? The best suspension parts in the world won't do anything if you don't have the horsepower and drive train to go with it. The funny thing is you start out trying to do a wheelie and eventually you try to NOT do them which is quite a bit harder than doing them. Some light springs, 90/10 struts and no sway bar up front combined with a good rear suspension with tight shocks will help. Dialing in more negative pinion angle helps too but can be hard on parts. Put a blue bottle in it and it will help.
