Ok, Im guessing this is a big problem w/ our cars, but I dont know what to do about it. I have traction until the turbo spools than I just start spinning like crazy, feathering helps a little, but there has to be some thing that will help. What after market suspension parts do they sell for our cars that will help traction besides wheels and tires, cause thats obvious. thanx <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Ive got lsd already, but that just lights both wheels up. Slicks are the best traction improver, but not practical for daily driving. Oh well I guess Ill just have to deal w/ it.

get some of those 555 street legal slicks, i hear they still suck, but get better traction than street tires

they also make traction bars. &nbsp;I believe doluck has them.. not sure whatkind of difference they make. &nbsp;you can also get wider wheels. &nbsp;lower tire pressure. &nbsp;adjust camber. &nbsp;w/ lsd you may be lighting up both tires, but at least your getting double the friction on the ground

They're not called street legal slicks. They're called drag radials. Nitto 555R's should be available in Japan. They are the worst drag radial around in terms of traction, but they get awesome treadwear. I know a guy that got 10000mi+ out of a set on a T/A and he abused the crap out of them. Better traction than regular street performance tires. You can also use subframe spacers to tighten up your rear subframe and change the anti-squat angle.
