traction?

I've got some traction problems and not alot of money, so i was wondering what would be the best bang for the buck. And also in the future what would be a good setup?

Nothing beats a good set of tires. If you dont already have good tires, then i suggest you start there. All the suspension mods in the world wont help if you have bad tires. Once you get good tires, things like LCAs and lowering brackets will help traction alot.

Check the angle of the rear lower control arma. If your car has been lowered or the springs have sagged they may be higher in the rear than in the front. LCA relocation brackets are available from many sources that weld on and allow you to lower the rear mounting point to improve traction. Also good shocks will help keep everything planted to the ground. Good luck, Lon.
