LCA and TA improvements? im planning on getting some suspension mods for traction soon.
was wondering how much time can i cut off my ET with some LCA and a torque arm?
all i'll have to go on right now is street tires so would the torque arm even help much on street tires?
what kind of ET improvements with just LCA on street tires?
thanks in advance
edit: im also planning on getting eibach sport lines if it makes any difference.

good gravy.. if you are spinning your tires nothing is going to help AT ALL unless you get stickier tires..
IF you believe the claims of these aftermarket LCA and TQ arm companies that they put more power to the wheels.. then you're just going to be spinning MORE
People post all the time "need more traction, lca's? torque arm?" and the answer is so simple: TIRES. Wheel hop is another story, if your wheels are bouncing up and down, then that needs to be remedied, but if you're just smoking the tires, nothing is going to help except better tires.

the stock ones probably arn't flexing or anything to cause problems with a stock car on street tires especially. Do tires, then a torque arm to set your pinion angle would be your best bet.

LCAs will help you spin MORE. We put Hotchkis LCAs on our WS.6 (mods in sig) and from a stop, i can roll into the throttle, and the tires will grab (285/40-17 Nitto 555s) for a little, and the higher the RPM gets, it will just overpower the traction, and start spinning.
