Question help me hook

well im trying to get my suspension hooked up for the summer and i need to know what im missing.
the problem i have is i cant hook at all even with the mods i have.
my suspension mods are -lca's-bmr relocation brackets set to the lowest seting-hypercoil springs-bilstien hd's and for wheels and tires i have chrome zr1's with 275-40-17 falken fk 451's.
it will hook fair when the tires are warm like in the summer time but still spins bad so what is my next step?
i was thinking about softer springs for the rear and a adj torque arm but im not shure.
i know the tires have some thing to do with it so i have a set of nitto dr's that will go on when it stays warm.
thanks guys

agree, different tires, Nitto,MT"s or BFG drag radials. Maybe a spohn torque arm and even change the wheels in the back to 16's instead of 17's that could help.

What kind of tires you got on there now?

falken fk 451 summer tires.
they dont hook at all only fair when real warm
if i run at the track i have to baby it out of the gate and its squirly all through 1st and half of 2nd.
best i ran was 8.7 but thats with out the relocation brackets with helped a lot.
car is much stronger than that i traped like 86xx in the 8th
