As the topic says just list what you think is the best upgrade for the money for traction. I'm looking to improve 60ft times and overall straight line traction

Example:

1.) Motor Mount inserts
2.) Front strut bar
3.) springs
4.) etc etc etc

 

What are your 60 fts now and what tires\suspension are you currently running?

 

Well, my biggest problem is I have 17inch rims which I will fade out eventually if it's a huge problem. I do have Tein S tech Springs and I ordered some motor mount inserts, but I just want this to develop into something others can look at and decide where to start on suspension upgrades

 

1. Better tires.

 

AWD

ok of course tires, but what about real hardware....just a list guys

 

1. hasport motor mounts
2. strut bar will help, but not much.
3. if you are looking at a drag only car, look at revalved koni's and look at really stiff rates in the back. 1000 pounds or so per inch. you will want a softer front. i dont know about the front. search and u will find what u are looking for.
4. better tires. if this is a drag only car, get slicks. make sure to warm them up properly. if not, look into the bfgoodrich kdw's.

 

I've read that Skunk2's Drag Launch Coilovers lower ET's.

I'll read up on them

 

try a set of L-Con traction bars

 

Eibach drag launch+KYB AGX+ BFG DRs+ Moroso traction bars yeilded me consistant 2.0 60s(H22 powered Civic). I coulda done better if I could have launched harder, but I couldnt for fear of axle breakage(snapped both r & L axles on a 4K launch, lesson learned), I had to leave the line like I was at stop sign.

 

tires, suspension and a traction bar and you should be good to go, i will be running a jim fab traction bar on my car shorty.
