well these cars do follow lows spots in the road......but i dunno about the other? you prolly need a 4 wheel computer alignment, i think they are about $65
Not knowing what exactly your rear suspension entails, and guessing the front is stock, I bet you have a mess. A lot of "traction" setups are not good for handling and control because they can do funny things to the instant center, like move it rearward which can make things--interesting. Plus depending on the type of LCA's you have you could be binding the rear suspension up. You could also be running a bigger rear bar which adds roll stiffness vs. the front. You drive both ends of the car down the road. You need both ends to work together. I'm sure yours don't.
I'd be happy to help, but I'd need to talk to you about what you have on the car now, and get some more specifics on what the car is doing. I don't have a magic answer right now, but I've got no doubt we can fix the car. But you have to understand that sometimes you have pick your poison. A good driving car can launch pretty damned well, but a drag setup tends not to drive very well. That said we can put together some damn good compromises, and if we can use some of the parts you already have... great.
