Default Weight transfer...

Ok..after sway bar removal...what is the next best way to let that nose jump up and plant the rear end? This is a street car, but I race it alot, and right now I am having a hard time hooking up on the street even on MT ET Radials. Any advice?..Whats next?

I've tried all the way down to 16psi. I dont have any suspension mods yet. Is any one item more responsible for planting the tires than others? I was assuming the Torque Arm?..

you need 12 way adjustable rear shocks, lower control arms and an adjustable torque arm set at 3 degree pinion angle.

On the street or on the track? Are you launching from a crappy surface?

Well yea...on the street. It should hook at the track I would think. I just cant seem to get it to hold on the street. Pretty sad considering I dont have hardly any mods...on a 3.23 car. If I stall up a little and drop it, I will start to spin...I can get it to grip about half way through 1st but thats the best I can do. No dead hooks here.

Torque arm and LCAs with relo brackets would be good to you.

get a torque arm. i have one for sale its lg motorsports for a a4 only
get some lower control arms and relocation brackets. with that set up my friend cut 1.6 60ft all day.
The reason i am selling the torque arm is because he upgraded to a th400 and he had to go with the trac pak. let me know if you are interested

Adjustable front shocks will help a lot, air bag in the right rear, a fat chick in the back seat =)
