Default traction problems
I am having traction problems in first and second gear. 300 horsepower at the wheels with 3.55 gears, have aftermarket rear lower control arms installed. haven't yet installed front drag springs yet, will they make that much of a difference. The only reason I have them is because they came with the car. Will shocks and struts help? If so what kind and does anybody have any for sale? any other ideas will be greatly appreciated!

If you don't have sticky tires, get some. That will help significantly!!!
