Traction Problems Please Help
I am having bad traction problems. I have new transmission mount and the torsion bar is nice and tite and it's just when I launch or take off hard the car will spin at first then after it spins I guess it tries to hook up but all it does is just bounce the back tires really bad and it shakes the whole car. Any suggestions?

Go to Global West sight and get an idea what they are. Anti-Squat brackets.

The brackets weld to the ones the LCA's are in now. They extend down to regain the angle on the LCA's when you lowered the car. They should be pointed up in the front and bet yours ain't.
See previous post on sights.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33583 I found some but they are 59.95 Is that a good price. I was wondering why would you lower the back of the control arm. Wouldn't that cause it to bounce more and would this lower the axle? I don't see how it straighten the axles up.

That's a good price.
Your suspension geometry in the back is all out of wack. Look at a stock one and see. It is to complicated to explain the angles and how one angle has to coincide with the torque arm to get the instant center right. The LCA angle has to work with the TA angle to get you there. If the LCA's are pointed down in the front that won't work. A projected line of the angle of the LCA's has to intersect the TA and with the front level or pointed down they never do.
They don't straighten anything up they change the angle from front down to front up on the LCA's.
