i dont have a lot of money and i need traction and every time i launch it either falls on it face or frys my tires. does anyone know a good way to get rid of this traction problem.... it's a 5 speed to so i have know clue next to slicks and i cant aford them yet

 

Is it a Posi? what size are the rear tires? I went from 235 to 275 and it made a world of differance. If all else fails start off in second gear.

 

yeah it's posi and the tires are 245 /60 r15s i dont know much about tires but are 275 wider or taller

 

the 275's would be wider, i use them on my 17x9.5 inch rims.

anyway good investments would be to look into relocation brackets for the lower control arms, and lower control arms themselves.

spohn makes weld in lca brackets, good invest.

cheaper but effective lca's are lakewood's at around 80 bucks.

those items should help some.

also might want to look into poly tranny and torque arm mounts from prothane.

 

i was looking into that in the year one catalog i have but the relocation looked like alot of hassle and i didnt know if would have made a difference

thanx

 

A set of relocation brackets and lower control arms will do wonders for these cars as far as traction goes. the stock ones deflect sooo bad under any load. You can have both for about 170 bucks. Pretty cheap traction.

 

Or If you know anyone that has basic fabrication skills, your stock ones can be modified. I boxed mine in on a lunch brake, didnt cost squat and is as good as anything you can buy. Although I am wondering if LCA's would be something next, not quiet sold on them yet...

 

You deffienately made yours stronger but there is still a lot of delflection at the ends of them. Wait till you make some serious power and you will see. They are extremely valuable and far superior to stock or moddified stock.
