Default Serious Traction

I once learned the hardway that all the horsepower in the worls is useless unless you can plant those damn tires. So i'm going to do it the right way and get the traction done first. It will be for a SN.

My question is this; What can I do to increase traction (Besides Radial tracks) Without hurting my daily driving. I love the feel of tight corners and road racing. What can I do to increase the traction from a dig without sacrifising road racing? I am willing to spend up to 1200, not including the radial tracks.

First off, what are radial tracks? Sencondly, get a set of upper and lower control arms with poly bushings... It tightens up the suspension for drag racing and road racing...

Drag radials, what ever you want to call them. Thanks. Is the Eibach Pro-System-Plus worth the 900 bucks?

Lowering springs, Adj struts, rear shocks, u/l control arms, subframe connectors.

Lowering spring make traction problems worse, they are stiff so you end up with less weight transfer... Eibach has a drag kit that is great, it's only $250 for the springs, and you definetly want to throw some money into uppers, lowers, and some shocks....

Something like eibach pro-kit, or frpp b or c springs offer a small drop and doesn't sacrafice weight transfer too much....
It's a good compromise for wanting good weight transfer but also able to coner better.
