Default Hooking problems

Ok, I have a 98 formula and it has been lowered about 1.8 inches (eibach sportline springs) and new front shocks, but stock rear ones with 104k on the clock. I cant hook worth anything at all from a dig. Is this normal? or do i need to reposition my lca? I just want to be able to hook somewhat. I have tried dumping from 3k, 2.8k, 2.5k, 2.2k, 2k and i just spin every time. Is it cause i dont know what im doing or is there a reason why im not hooking? Thanks for input.

Bad tires. Are the LCA's relocated properly? The TA angle OK? . . . Springs probably don't have enough travel either . . . .

I dont have the LCA's relocated yet, i was asking if that would help? And you're thinkin I might need to get a torque arm relocation done? I am probably gonna get koni da shocks and maybe an lg coil over kit, so i will be able to adjust my ride height. Having more travel helps for traction? I am gonna get 11 inch drs later on, so that will hopefully fix my tire problem

Take the changes in steps. First the relocation brackets. That should help, if you still have a problem then you need an adjustable torque arm.
