Default how can i make my ws6 hook?

Is there anything that i can do to get more traction other than getting sticky tires? I have subframe connectors but that's it. After I done all the mods all it does is spin, bad! 1st through 3rd. It's terrible

Torque arm,Lc arms,Rlc brackets,shocks,springs,PH bar,

TQ arm will be the biggest improvement,I run a BMR non adjustable and it's a 100% better than stock,Lc arms will be a needed change too,

Basicly start change rear end comopents out.

Don't be too mad, that means you are puttin down some serious POWAH, in a way, you should be glad!

Torque arm, Lower Control Arm with brackets, and pahhard bar will make a difference,

so will a moser rear end, with mickey thompson's and a dump clutch at 5k!

If you want it to hook, make sure you get a body mounted torque arm (shorter than stock unit).

You go ta lot of mods? I have a pretty good bolt on car and on good payment, with my old tires it wasn't that bad.

I think having a good street tire and good shocks helps tons. Now if ur tires are cold or the road is 15 degress and you just romp on it yea your going to spin off the road or if your on crappy payment.

TQ arm helps a lot with hook. I installed one and went for a drive, not thinking. I left hard at a stoplight and didn't get any chirp from the tires...thought something was wrong until I remembered I swapped the tq arm

I had a chassis-mounted one though, do not recommend it for daily driver. It drove me ******* nuts, always banging the car, and brought SO much noise into the cabin.

Drag Radials. Number one traction cure.

I haven't bothered to read the rest of these posts but Im sure they tell you to get a whole bunch of aftermarket powdercoated junk.. but guess what, you'll still spin unless you get stickier tires. In fact, if you set these parts up correctly you will spin more.
