Traction Problem

From a roll in 1st or 2nd, if I stand on it, I get nothing but spinning tires. Would some suspension upgrades help, or should I just try drag radials? I've got stock Goodyears now, and I'm not really concerned about launching the car from a stop. Thanks!

Re: Traction Problem

Some rear lower control arms and some NITTOs will really make a difference for you.

Re: Traction Problem

This is my problem too. The biggest thing to correct it is tires. Suspension will help, but is not the cure. Look at all my suspension mods. I still spin tires.

Thanks for the replies!! I'll give the 555R's a try.

Re: Traction Problem

My BMR LCA's realy helped me out with getting traction, I strongly suggest them!! And they arent very expensive either. Before, from a 20 roll, and dropping it in to first, I would spin like crazy, now it grabs pretty hard. My next mod will be Nitto D/R's though.
