4.10 gears and no traction

01dutchGT · July 11th, 2007, 12:33 AM

So i got my 4.10 gears installed about a month ago. I have been challenged a few times by other cars and it seems like ive gotten slower. I know this isnt the case and i should be blowing these bitch's out of the water but it seems that cant get traction if my life depended on it. Ive put my mod list at the bottom so please help me out.

what brand of tires you got? do you have any suspension work done?

01dutchGT · July 11th, 2007, 12:38 AM

I bought it lowered about an inch but other then that no suppension work. I have 315/35/17 summitomo htrz

01GT · July 11th, 2007, 12:50 AM

should be hooking up pretty good... just easy the throttle in 1st or else you will lose all traction. i pretty much feather first gear, but i only have 245s and 3.73s

Garhfer · July 11th, 2007, 12:56 AM

get some Nitto 555r's and some control arms and you should hook up good.

SWEET2KSTANG · July 11th, 2007, 01:05 AM

control arms and shocks will help a lot.

01dutchGT · July 11th, 2007, 01:09 AM

how much you wanna spend??? you want the car for strait line, road course, daily driving, adjustable, etc?

01dutchGT · July 11th, 2007, 01:25 AM

ok thanks man, they do come in pairs right? and also this will give me the traction i need to get my car moving with my 4.10 setup

yeah there's two, get some adjustable steeda upper control arms and some nitto 555r tires and you should hook real nice. You might want to get some subframe connectors to keep your frame from twisting on hard launches too

im looking for daily driving but straitline as well. Just want the best performance out of it as posible. I want to be able to get on it and not be spinning all day

SWEET2KSTANG · July 11th, 2007, 02:41 AM

a friend of mine has the maximum motorsports contorl arms and tokico illumina shock and strut set up, and likes it. i have the gms control arms and like them. i am still debating on shocks and struts, but i am leaning toward the tokico illumina shock/strut set up.

matrixpuba · July 11th, 2007, 02:57 AM

you need to ditch the sumitomos also. i run them in the cooler months of the year. traction sucks with 3:73 gears.

KhaosGT · July 11th, 2007, 08:16 AM

upr has a upper and lower control arm set for $199 but they are not adjustable...i havent heard anything about them...but they are a step up from stock

TheManInBlack · July 13th, 2007, 02:43 PM

blue oval sells a set for under 200 bucks..uppers and lowers....they do the job.

orangeRcode · July 13th, 2007, 05:41 PM

You need some softer tires in addition to lowers and shocks. Drag radials FTW.

WilltheThrill · July 13th, 2007, 05:52 PM

IMO u shouldn't be spinnin real bad, what do u do when u race?
