Default Question on suspension


I have a 01 Trans Am and when I go WOT from a stop I always lose grip and it feels like I am going to lose control so I let go. My question is what can I do to help on take offs and so that my car takes off evenly. Maybe a strut bar or rear bar, What is an affordable brand that won't break the bank.

Midwest Chassis!!!!

Lower control arm, Lower control arm brackets, and Panhard bar will be more then enough for stock cars for now. Contact them (they are a sponsor) for price. All I can tell you they are by far less expensive then anyone else!!!!!!

Best money dollar for dollar I have spent on my car so far! EASY install!

I agree with the list above. To save a tiny bit of cash you can just do Lower Control Arms and Relocation brackets first. A PHB is a good idea in general but the other two items will help forward traction the most.
