Tired of car being unstable What good suspension mods should I look into?
Check my signature for info on my car. It says I have auburn posi. I do, but it's not installed yet. So my rear is OPEN.
The roads here are dry.
I went through a puddle while exiting Red Lobster . I drove down the road a little then gunned it in 2nd gear. My car started going no where while RPMs were rising. Was this because my tires were a little wet? Do I have to much hp for street tires to be doing this? Is it because of the open rear I have?
What can I do to prevent this?? Any suspension mods?
I really do not want to wreck my car again...

Yes, I'm sure you have a little bit too much hp for those street tires, especially when you are only having to spin one! The posi will help out a little. Try some SFC's those will cut down the tire spin. Also some LCA's and a panhard rod. All these combined should considerably cut down on tire spin. What size tire are you running? Stock?

Keep your foot out of It ? 
Just an idea...
Seriously Tho, What BTS said. Also Look at getting some better tires, depending on what You have now.
