Default what should I do next?

im on the fence on what to do next with my car. maby you can help me decide.


I want to do gears (4.10's), however, they are no good to me when I am taking a turn at 30 MPH and my car starts to act like its on ice. So what about suspention? What do I need to take some pretty nasty turns without loosing the back end? (other than good tires, wider tires, etc)

Taking turns at 30mph,you dont have any decent suspensionand running 4:10s? Sounds like an accident waiting to happen...

Slow down, then look into suspension...

The biggest thing is goign to be a Panhard bar. It will keep your rear centered.

Other things to look into are shocks/struts, subframe connectors, LCA's, tubular A k member, coil-over set up and some nice tires.

With those, how does it handle around those corners? Does the end break loose, or are you able to hold the road the whole corner?
