Re: First suspension mod? I was thinking either control arms or lowering springs.....
I'd like a torque arm, but $500 is a lot to spend right now.... <img src="graemlins/camaro.gif" border="0" alt="[Chevrolet]" />

Re: First suspension mod? My subframes took care of a lot of the axle hop that I was having, now my tires still spin, but they stay on the ground for the most part. <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

Re: First suspension mod? The best "traction" mod you can get is TIRES.
Nothing else is even close.
Followed next by LCA's if you have a M6 car.
Handling and traction are two different things in my book.
One usually doesnt help the other.

Re: First suspension mod? "Grin".
C'mon, think o you are asking this question of. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">
What is more important? TRACTION!
Races like those I race are won by TRACTION. Handling? other than the errant on/off ramp orthe blind corner...handling can kiss my ***. My car handles about like stock. But LORDY does it HOOK.
Great times and killer E.T.'s come from TRACTION.
Just consider what is important to YOU.
Me? it's all about the 60'.
