Default hooking up problems

My 92 5.0 doesnt hook good at all. It doesnt have the greatest set of tires. I can cruise along in first gear and punch it and the tires break free, shift to 2nd and spin halfway through 2nd. I was wondering what i could do to eliminate some of this. I am not looking at changing the whole suspension around, just looking for a few tips to get me in going in the right direction.

Buy some half decent tires haha jk they would help but you could buy some upper and lower CA's, subframes and possibly lower it if you wanted to go that far. The CA's should help quite abit Im looking into buying some once I get my gears in.

There was a set of them on a post a lil while ago, there the exact same as the SummitRacing ones but theyre off of Ebay. Except 100 bucks cheaper. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/79-04...03968517QQrdZ1 I think thats it.
BBK is also pretty good brand. If you search for this youll find endless posts on it.

what are u talking about lowering springs?! no..false info


if you were changing the springs get some 4cyl springs in front, and a airbag in the rear, lowering springs HURT traction... but help it in taking corners

check out brotherperformance.com for some good bbk ca thats where i got my uppers and they were only 109 i thin might have been less. but if ur car is only spinning that much i would be excited mine will do it all the way into 3rd which sucks when racing someone and i have some suspension mods just crappy tires

Buy a set set of good drag radials and your car will hook up just fine.
