Traction for my 88 EF
I was wondering what a good setup for daily driving, and some track useage would be..
I have some tokico shocks and sportline spings right now....
I have some bad wheel hap and spin the tires more then I would like too right now....
When I get a turbo in the future the only thing that will be stopping me from low ET's will be traction...
What kind of things can I do to my 88 EF to improve the traction on it?
Currently running an LS tranny with no LSD.. So the only ideas I have so far are is get an LSD and run some traction bars....
Can anyone give me some input on what else would be good to keep the tires planted and get less wheel spin....

Racing crossmember, custom fender braces, good motor mounts, stiff suspension, strong sway bar, strut bar, slicks, etc...

I would definetely get an LSD. I'm about to buy a swap from hmotorsonline for my 88CRX Si and I'm just gonna breakdown and pay the $300 more for the LSD tranny. As light as these cars are (2017lbs), they lose traction.

Being that 88s are the only ones with passive rear wheel steering, I would strongly discourage a rear sway bar and strut bar. There was even an article in SuperStreet or Sport Compact Car (can't remember which) about it.
