Im going to get a set of BFG drag raidals by spring, how can i get better traction from my FWD beast??
Thinking of puting the oem coil springs back on too, stupid question, but will that help???

LSD, Traction bars, tighten up your dampening, and get a set of true drag radials for the streets and slicks for the track.
If thats not enough, go and get yourself a RWD or AWD car because you can't be pleased

how to hook up better?
Need some money, charm, a little bit of luck, someone who falls within your league, good hygene, just be yourself, it works.
how to hook up better at the track?
Stock spring with stiff dampening on shocks works Koni is good. I've noticed lowering springs can reduces tractions if you don't get an alighnment. A recent honda tuning issue discusses how stock height is better for straight line traction and lowered suspension is better for corners.
traction bars seem to do a pretty good job. I still think Full-race is a nice product, but they rape you with the prices, sorry, had to get that off my chest.
Tires, BF Drag Radials, Falken Azenis, Nitto work well. A little deflation works.
preloading seems to work very well at the track, dumping the clutch will cause spinning and/or wheel hop, so find your comfort zone.

Re: (1baddturbosi)
i got around 8k miles out off my bfg's. that included between 25 and 30 passes at the track.
they still had another 3 or 4 thousand miles left in them, but i put them on a car that didnt have an alignment and wore the insides to the braids...
1st is still gonna be pointless with the radials, but if you ease in it (depending on power made) you should grip by the top of 2nd...

Man U FTW
At the rate i'm going now i figure i have at least another full season on them. I put probably 3k miles on them this summer AND i took them to the strip twice. They're not bad on the street, but a little louder than my Falkens on the freeway. Overall, i like them...and i have no powersteering
