how can I get my 3rd gen to hook?
Alright everyone, I've got a 86 camaro with a well built motor and its got some serious traction problems, I have the eibach pro kit which I know makes traction worse, but I have the control arm relocation brackets and adjustable tubular control arms. What else would be a good investment in getting me some traction, I plan on getting some drag radials but what else? Torque arm, panhard rod? what else?
Thanks in advance

Torque arm so that you can adjust the pinion angle.
You already have good LCA and the relocation brackets. The LCA should be parallel to the ground or down slightly at the rear.
You could get air bags inside the rear springs. One is all you need in the passenger side spring. About 15 pounds of air helps keep that wheel from rising off the ground under hard accelleration.
A rear sway bar also helps do the same thing.
Lastly the biggest thing to improve traction is slicks.
The panhard bar is nice to have but only really helps on cornering since it's designed to keep the diff centered under the car. Straight line accelleration won't cause the diff to go sideways.

Sorry I forgot to mention I already have subframe connectors, what brand torque arm do you recommend Stephen? I have SPOHN control arms, brackets, and subframes. And I also want an adjustble torque arm correct?
