I think some jackstands will help your traction problem. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Tires aside, while it won't help much in a straight line, getting your car corner-balanced will improve lateral grip.

He said above he has a shep front lsd and a 4 bolt rear lsd already.



A shepp front LSD is not a real LSD and the factory rear 4bolt lsd is a viscous. The viscous never does the same thing every time. That was the reason I said evo3 rear diff that is a clutch diff.

I vote for a real lsd in front and an evo 1-9 lsd in the rear along with a proper race alignment and some sticky rubber (star specs are good)and you should have no issues from there on out.

255- 40-17's as well.

I know people running 800+whp with minimal tire spin on this set up.

You need to buy my Forgeline RS 17's to put those new sticky tires on! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

This next winter I will be sending my trans in to get serviced and checked up. I will put in a really good diff at that time for the front /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif I should have went with my gut feeling and put it in from the start.... It was my choice and it was a bad one /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Evo 1-9 more info please....!

The evo 1-3 front lsd along with the pass side axle and in the rear you need an evo 8-9 rear lsd carrier unit with the axle tulips in your 4 bolt housing and I thought there was a write up on here a while back but I am not 100% sure anymore /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

Highly recommend not using these tires! Look for my build thread and now part threads very soon /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bawling.gif
