Just wondering if anybody knows some suspension mods maybe to get the power to the ground ever since I lowered it theres no getting on it in first gear without spinning!!!!!!!!! any help would be appreciated the track opens in a couple weeks and got to have it ready....

upper and lower control arms, subframe connectors, and stickies will do wonders for your car.

that's because the wt. can't transfer to the rear because of the springs

exactly. the springs are meant to decrease body shift.... not enhance it!

Like said above. You may be able to improve tracktion some with some suspension upgrades. But once lowered with a road race set up. you will loose some take off traction. But will gain cornering and braking traction. Sticky tires will probably be your best investment.

You are going to have to install rear lower control arm relocation brackets. These will restore the rear lower control arms to thier original angle or even abit more of a positive angle. Until you do this the car is going to continue to squat and try and lift the rear tires into the wheel wells. The way your suspensions acting now its actually unloading the tires instead of planting them to the ground when the power is applied (see attachment 1). This of course cause loss of traction and excessive whell spin. By relocating the rear mounting point of the rear lower control arms you will cause the rearend to move downward under powerinstead of up, which inturn will cause it to try and lift rear of the car as it pivots in a positive direction on your newly relocated control arms.This inturn will transfer weight to the rear tires, causing them to be planted more firmly to the ground (see attachment 2). The good explaination is alot more long and drawn out than this but hopefullyyou get the picture.

Wont adjustable upper and lowers that adjust in length correct this?

adjustable drag shocks will allow you to tune the amount of load on the rearend and most likely resolve your issues

They wont correct the lower control arm angle as it relates to the rest of the chassis.The only things that would change is the pinion angle and the front to backposition of the tire in the wheel well.

to completely gain the most possible traction your obviously going to have to either sacrifice the lowered look or acceleration..
