traction on boosted Si
I need advice to get some traction on my Si. I have 312whp & 265lb.ft. of torque @15lbs. of boost. I know that a LSD and some traction bars are probably the best option, as well as upgrading the suspension alltogether ( no suspension mods ). If anyone has advice on a good setup, let me know. What should be the steps in what to buy first, since my budget is limited?

Tires, slicks, suspension, traction bars, lsd would all help. Really depends on what type of driving you do. Track, drag, daily, etc.

Re: traction on boosted Si (black_dohc)
Suspension mods should of been done by now with that much power in my opinion. But thats just me.
Like stated above though, LSD will be a huge help, traction bars, coilovers, motor mount inserts, good tires. Basically you want that power to be put to the ground smoothly. That means tryin to get the flex out of your chasis and minimizing motor movement. Its still going to be a bitch to launch your car...but that should be expected with FWD unless you are on slicks.
