Good tires go along way in the traction department. Adj. struts and shocks help a lot also they were some of the best things I ever spent money on. also bolt on subs still allow more flex then weld in ones they work but just not as good.

ok found out by looking a td bit closer and doing a comparison that those red spring i have in the rear are actually elbach sport lines(i know because i seen sportline on them went to look at what elbach had and waalaa)since elbach is only company i know with red springs

ok so i have elbach sportline springs in all 4 corners(w/spring spacers upfront if anyone would like to tell me why in the front only(yes the front end sits higher then the back)

and in the rear i have kyb gr 2 and in the front i have kyb gas-a-just

are the gas-a-just adjustable or do they do the adjusting them self


i was wondring why it turned so good
