Default Traction?

I searched and only thing i really seen was Control arms.....

Can i just replace the lower control arm?

Any suggestions for keeping tires on ground. Other then tires...........

Everything is factory except the Springs. i just replaced My back sits about .5-1 inch higher which is causing them to spin in 1st and 2nd.

Advise from someone who knows

THANKS

full length subframe connectors and lower control arms will do wonders for traction

Not sure what you're asking. You just installed springs and the rear end of the car is sitting 1/2 to 1 inch higher?

Lower Control Arms and a good Drag Radial will help you hook up.

Yes The whole reason i lowered my car was the front sat higher now i see why to keep all the weight on the back tires. Well I used a 1.12 front and .75 out back and now the front sits lower so no weight is really transferred when full throttle in 1st. and 2nd.

But not enough I have had my car a while i knew how it drove prior to springs and with the new springs....... Before change I could take off without spinning and barely chirping second you could spin tires if you really wanted/tried now at any rpm range in 1st at WOT it will spin ..... and if i go into 2nd at WOT it will spin...

The main reason is becuase on my way to work saturday i took a turn and the tires broke loose and i went into the ditch... nothing bad just broke the bead on my tire making small air leak but i got it fixed
