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?
