Hello
I noticed you are having traction issues! And I would like to throw this out there for you that UMI Performance offers a wide variety of suspension parts that I am sure will meet your traction needs.
I would suggest eliminating your stamped lower control arms with the blown bushings and replacing them with a set of solid LCA's with poly grease able bushings.
And then to allow you to adjust the pinion angle I would also suggest looking into a set of LCA relocation brackets. They will allow you to adjust your LCA so that they are parallel to the ground. Therefore eliminating any possible chances of wheel hop. And also they will increase your traction performance as well.
Below is a link to show you what all UMI Performance has to offer!

If you have any other questions feel free to ask.
Thanks

Just wanted to ask/clarify, I didn't think the lower control arms had anything to do with pinion angle, let alone relo' brackets. Isn't that all up to the torque arm

Lets keep it real. Yes the UMI suspension upgrades will help, but your tire size and type of tire is killing you. Those 19 inch street Invos dont have much side wall and being a street tire vrs a drag radial or street slick limits you also. If you are going to run a 19 inch tire switch to a drag radial and purchase some VHT (trackbite). Before racing drop your tire pressure down (16-20 psi) and heat them up to get them sticky using the VHT of course. That should help you getting of the line without spinning.

The relocation brackets don't adjust your pinon angle. They allow you to change your instant center. For faster weight transfers therefore offering harder launches. And the pinion angle is in the torque arm. If you have any other questions feel free to ask.
