Default rear traction

Thanks to everyone for helping out their fellow stang owner. I have been convinced that one of the first mods to do is traction. I only have a few mods and I already spin the tires pretty good. I have heard people talk about what mods to do for traction. But can someone please explain to me how the mods will actually work? Thank for all the help!

#1 for traction... new rubber.

To reduce/eliminate wheel hop, LCAs

someone more knowledgeable pls correct me, but I think the LCA's eliminate torsion in the stock rear end under launch/hard acceleration by having different and thicker geometry. torsion in the stock stang can cause wheel hop. if wheels are hoppin they aint puttin power to the ground.

stickier rubber and taller tire will both improve grip on launch.

onlly other suspension mod I know of is gettign a drag suspension set up. it will increase weight shift to the rear on launch. more weight on the tires, the more they'll grab.

Make sure ur good at launching ur car. My car stock right now; but it once of the best cars when it comes to putting the power to the ground.

and I'm not a pro at any of this; but like the first guy said...tires is a good way to start.
