Well I use to think it was just TIRES TIRES TIRES but after my last TA where I did LCA with Relocation brackets and Torque ARM (with preload pinon angle) Panhard and the tires all at once, I had a big improvement in traction. Then the car was lost to fire and I bought a 99 WS6 that has pretty good rubber on it Goodyear F1s (new) I am right back to where I was before, the car slips around like it was on ice, I nail it at 30 and it lights the tires. So I put the LCAs and brackets on and I saw an improvement (plus no more wheel hop) I still need to do the torque arm, so I am hoping to make it a little better. All that said, your making a lot of power and anything short of SLICKs is going to spin like a twister in Kansas <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />
