Just installed my new LCARB`s and still cant get traction, whats next?
I just installed my LCARB`s on my car hoping that it will help with my traction issues and it diddnt seem too help too much from a dig, but i can tell a little difference from a rolling start. what would be the next best thing too replace and realy feel a difference?

What tires are you running? Those will help more then any suspension product purchased. LCARB do not guarantee traction.

You still have a stock torque arm? An adjustable one will increase traction as you can fine tune your pinion angle.

sorry it took so long too get back too you guys, i just went and baught a set of nitto 555r radials and it made a huge difference. But im still spinning the wheels thru first and part of second and still running stock shocks and springs, also i have not upgraded my torque arm yet because im not sure if its worth the money or not? what would be a better upgrade shocks or torque arm?I have a set of 3.73 gears that i want too put in but i cant even get traction as it is.

i can tell you that bmrs torque arm, kyb gr2 front struts and kyb gas a just in the back and the prokit lowering springs really helped me traction issues....

aftermarket torque arms can add anti-squat and help hit the tires harder if they are shorter than the stock arm. pinion angle wont help traction any.

deffinately need to change the shocks. I run the KYB gas a just's they helped me. I know a shorter torque arm helps traction. Im sure a stiffer one would too. I have not upgraded mine but I will as needed.
