Default Can't hook up
After the blower install, I can't get any traction if I mash the accelerator. I hear caltracs are a good place to start, but are they the only option for hooking up a little better? Besides slicks of course.

on street tires I doubt that even caltracs are going to help too much. You need slicks, start there and THEN look for suspension tweaks.

Exactly.. I am running cal tracs, they did basically nothing on the street for traction, esp on street tires..

good point! I just assumed. Get a solid LSD in there before you do anything else, then the widest tires you can squeeze for the street.

It has the stock G80, seems to be doing pretty well so far. I will have to shop around for some wider tires...
