Traction

Just wondering what people think the best mods for helping traction are. I can spin second stock. Tires are a given im more concerned with suspension.

Well...first of all...have you driven it in warm weather? Are you still on the stock tires? Cold weather kills traction...I saw it dramatically decrease when fall turned to winter...

Agreed, 0 traction right now.

I'm not sure what you can really do to get the traction really high.

X2.
I can spin in third sometimes when it is cold. The stock tires are summer tires. In summer I get wheelspin in 1st and 2nd only, but I am not stock. I used to get almost no spin in any gear stock unless I reved it up and dumped the clutch. The Contis are decent I guess, as long as it is not below 50 out.

Vibes are noticable but not bothersome. The TC axles are stronger, plus less wheel hop means less chance of breaking them.

If you are stock, the reason why you cant grab traction is because it is cold, wait tell the weather warms and you will be fine, If it is bothering you then I suggest getting tranny mounts or a torque dampener

I know about the cold weather i was surprised how much of a difference it made on these tires but this is for prepping for a tune to handle the added power with out riping a cloud of smoke by accident
