After adding some mods to my car, I am having a heck of a time getting traction. I get no wheel hop, it just smooth spinning, all the way up to 4500 rpm sometimes (Posi is still working great).

After doing a search, I was going to get an adjustable torque arm from Spohn. But after more searching, it seems this might be overboard for my car and it's minor mods. People also complained it is a lot louder then stock.

Can anyone suggest something from spohns site to help me get better traction? I have limited experience with suspension stuff, it is perfered if it is a direct bolt on.

Sorry to be obvious, but what about tyres? Grip (or lack of) will enter into the equation.
Preventing the axle twisting would only do so much. Once you've got enough horsepower then the wheels are going to lose traction anyway.

This is just my opinion which may well be . Hopefully some of our more learned brethren will reply.

Tires are good, and always performed well. They have about 80% tread left.

 

i'm sorta in the same boat so to speak
we have some good bfg tires on it
and they will spin

i just put lower control arms on from lakewood

but many say use lower control arm brackets
BMR makes a bolt on bracket it
not sure how good they are, perhaps someone can chime in on them?
the lakewood control arms were easy to install

 

i dont know about BMR but i just installed Spohn weld-on LCA relocation brackets and it made a big difference i also have Lackwood LCA's i sometimes gets a 2nd gear chrip but you can hear the differnce whenever it does crip but most of the time it will hook honestly it looks so much better Next on the list is BMR's adjustable torgue arm cant wait

 

80% tread doesn't mean much. Street tires can be hard and dried out with lots of tread left.

Where are you having traction problems. On the street or at the track? If at the track, buy some slicks. Street tires will never give you good traction at the track.

All the trick suspension components won't help if you can't get the tires to hook up. Start with new rubber and preferably slicks.

 

Just on the street. The tires are 3 years old and still "feel" soft it that means anything. I was thinking of getting some Nittos, but I hate taking off tires that are fine and always performed well in the past. Not to mention I hear the Nittos like to throw up lots of rocks
