But of course man!...

If you are serious then best traction is from race tires. the rubber is what meets the road - your 4.10s are mighty and need sticky rubber to burn. BTW - You really need to make sure all your adjustments are good - this is a must - why you think it wrong?. Have them checked by good shop if you are not 100% sure. Good effort racing man!

Are there no mustang tuning shops in your area? Im sure if you look youll find one. Also with the 4.10s you might want to put some dr's on the back if you havnt done so already. This is almost a must.

Id look in to some nitto nt555r's they are a pretty good dr, with "decent" tread wear (for a dr that is)

If your LCAs are out of adjustment it's not a good thing, but it won't affect your traction much.

Your main problem is that your car is lowered without LCA relocation brackets, you have low gears, bad tires, and you're still expecting a good launch.

Grabbier tires are key. If you want something very streetable try the BF Goodrich KDW-2 or Goodyear Eagle F1 or GS-D3.

You also need to consider LCA relocation brackets: https://mustangforums.com/m_2727670/tm.htm

on a scale of 1-10, how much does a bmr UCA / bracket help launch? and is it worth it? what are some other worthwhile suspension mods to help imrpove launch?


do the tockico shocks help alot?

A speed shop for sure, or a shop that specializes in driveshafts. Alignment shops might do it, but i'd call ahead where ever you decide.
