Does anyone recommend simple and cheap ways to improve my launches? I was thinking about control arms? coil over kits are sort of expensive..

better tires 100%, preferably drag radials


lighter and wider rims with wider stickier rubber would be best.

i got pilot super sports 295 30 20's and the difference between them and stock is amazing, powershifting to 2nd at full throttle doesnt even hardly break the tires loose

Racing tires are the single best mod for the track. If you have wheel hop, then LCA's will eliminate that. Manual or auto trans?

The best way is almost never the cheapest way to do anything.

What 808 said and that will not be cheap but ur best option

What everyone else said. Drag radials, or slicks if you want to schlepp them to/from the track. Aftermarket control arms with stiffer bushings (or rod ends if you're really hardcore) should reduce/elimiate wheel hop if you're having that problem. Some drag shocks/struts will absorb some shock and help the launch and weight transfer as well. Then there's of course adjustable 3rd links so you can play with pinion angle. Weight loss (both the car and driver if applicable) and driver skill will help as well.

If you're putting down higher power levels with sticky tires, there's also a good chance your clutch will become the weakest link and start to slip (like my friend's 05 with a KB and BFGoodrich KDW's)

I would recommend our drag pak stage 1 kit: http://www.steeda.com/store/steeda-d...d-mustang.html

Our parts are made in the USA and feature a lifetime limited warranty. Our lower control arms will help you get rid of any wheel hop and improve your launches.

Please let me know if I can help you with that!
