need help with traction problem

stang300a · May 23rd, 2008, 11:56 PM

what are good lower control arms to get and are they something i can install myself??

... if you have patience, yes you can...

you can get them from AM, MM, Steeda... just do a bit of shopping ... might even be lucky enough to get some used ones on here and just have to replace the bushings with some urethanes if they don't have em...

if your rear end is kicking out on a 1-2 shift with an auto v6 with 10.5 in wheels, you either have shit for tires or your shift pressure is ridiculous. Just turn it down a notch.

nitto 555r's

go drag radials

i have a hard time breaking lose banging gears..stock gears but over 300rwhp and torque

i like the chirping when it shifts i just feel like my car is going to go sideways and im gonna crash. yesterday i was passing a truck and when my tires chirped my car felt like it was about to go perpendicular with the car next to me any sec. i mean if it was raining im almost 99% sure it would have spun out or something.

now that im thinking about it it is probably that the tires are shitty because before i got my new wheels i had my stock wheels/tires and my car used to chirp without the gears and t lock but it never felt like it was going to lose control. i dunno im gonna prob take it easy for a while until i get some money and then ill get some lower control arms, lower the car (its too high anyways), and then it will prob be time for some new tires anyways by this time.

sumitomos is like riding on a soapy floor...they last long but spin easy

you dont really need suspension upgrades unless your getting wheel hop

if ur pulling that hard on shifts u really need to pull your shift pressure back

Thats your problem, your riding on ICE.... I don't slide like that with the s/c and I'm sure Chris doesn't either with his 555r's (unless he wants to

). All the suspension in the world won't help the glass your riding on for tires.

Edit: Should have ATLEAST got the HTZII's

stang300a · May 25th, 2008, 03:28 AM

ok well sounds like tires are the prob. thanks guys i will invest in some tires shortly. i did notice there are 555r and 555. what is the diff and which one should i get?

edit: are they both street legal?

r's are drag radials.

And correct me if I'm wrong, but you could break your rear end if you try to launch hard on DR's.

stang300a · May 25th, 2008, 03:15 PM

ok well which ones should i get if i dont ever plan on drag racing and just use them for the street.

Dansby · May 25th, 2008, 05:04 PM

555's. No need to go radials. They just look sweet.
