Traction


What will get me really good traction besides a good set of DR's? Are upper and lower control arms a cheap easy add on or do i need to go with springs and cc plates?

i ve heard the control arms are good. plus i would lower the car and new shocks and struts. and get new sway bars, sub frame connectors and top it off with some bigger tires.

get some adjustable upper control arms and lower control arms. get adjustable shocks and struts. lowering it wont help you out from a dig. but it looks a lot better.
