Default Traction

What can of advice do you guys have for a decently priced suspension for a good ride and traction? I have a bone stock 99z28 and brand new tires but I'm losing control in shifting to second and have to get off it most of the time.

We really need some more details before we can help you out. What kind of tires are you running? Is the car equipped with a manual or automatic transmssion?

With a stock car generally a good set of tires or drag radials will make all the difference in the world when it comes to traction. For initial suspension mods for traction most guys start with rear lower control arms (TCA001) and relocation brackets (CAB002).

Let us know what kind of tires you currently have and that will be a big help. More than likely you have a cheaper tire with a less than desirable traction rating because a stock automatic f-body shouldn't have too much issue hooking up.

LCAs and subframe connectors are what I would do first.

Here is what I would do and what will give you the best bang for the buck as far as stright-line performance and traction goes.

Non-adjustable lower control arms (TCA001) - $109.95
Bolt-in relocation brackets (CAB002) - $99.95

Does non adjustable compromise the ride if I'm turning and so on?
Btw thanks to anyone that has reied to this so far I really appreciate the help
