RE: Serious Traction prob,..
It seems everybody who spins there tire they feel they have traction problems.. Well honestly half of it is driver! I can roast tires in a 95 hp civic and say i have traction problems.Purchase some good tires and practice ur launches, 260 HP isnt some insane amount of power. good luck

put your foot on the brake and then the other foot on the gas. your engine will rev higher and go as high as you can just to before you spin the tires from a stop (brake stance) and as to where you won't move forward. you should be able to get 2-2.5 K rpms. try it, it works.

now hold on here..im not talking about revving the crap out of it then dumpiongthe clutch, im talking about maybe 1500 and babying the clutch out, but when i would put it ot the floor nothing but wheel spin.. and yeah it was pretty cold about 45 degress, and im in Miami.
p.s. how would getting my hands on soem fox body springs help me out?

Start off with going down to your local auto parts place and buy Monroe Sensi-Trac Fox body shocks. JDdaniel posted about them, I bought some and it made a huge difference for only $52.00

i had a similar problem, just come out at idle, do not hold it at 1500, also the drag radial will make a drastic diffrence. my car would hardly spin with the new mickey thompson et street drag radials. [sm=trust_me.gif]

control arms didnt really seem to help mine, and i installed upper and lower. I had to get some aftermarket ones because one of mine was broke when i bought the car. mine arent adjustable, maybe thats why
