Default To Much Spinning!

Hey guys, What all can i do to get better traction without buying new tires??
I spin everywhere, even from a 30mph roll i will spin all the way to about 40mph. And my tires aren't bad, there is plently of tread left and everything.
Thanks.

Less Gas!!!

No really, I had the same prob on my 93 Z28. You can get a descent set of rears only for about $300. OR a shitty set while you scrape together more dough for about $200. Besides that, dont take turns too fast!

The problem is when im racing somebody from a 30mph roll or less i just spin till about 40mph. Is there anything i can do to fix this?? Besides tires, i dont want to buy new tires just yet. O yea, i alread have sfc also. Thanks.

Torque arm, lower control arms and lower control arm relocation brackets.

It's more expensive than tires but hey, speed costs money.
