well, ill be going to the track on next wednesday and im asking for some help with traction, i know there is stuff out there to research about but i have a spacific question delt with my situation.

im asking for pointers on getting the most traction with my current set up.

91 240sx hatchls1 335wtq, m6275 35 18 cooper tires for then back12 way adj coilsweight is 2900 w/o me(190)

any suggestions? soften my suspension? stiften?i heard if i remove my front swap bar that`ll help????

i burn all the way from 1st to the beginning of 3rd if i punch it, so im guessing ill have to ease on it till the end of 2nd or beginning of 3rd.

and a reminder, just stuff that i can do that may help with out costing me anything, besides time lol

since no one wants to talk about this then how about this.

whats a good rear end suspension pgrade for a novice set up, is there a package that inculdes say; arms, toes and rods? something cheap and not too crazy. i looked around on here and stuff but im looking to get a packaged deal....

traction so im assuming grip driving??

you have wide enough tires so thats a great start already

stiffer suspension is better and a lower center of gravity is better, i heard that removing the front sway bar helps as well, heard fc guys do it but personally i wouldnt do it, i think its worth having (if you try it let me know cause im curious)

dampening would need to be adjusted to fit the course and with so much power, throttle control and steering control would be key for traciton (freeeeee)

you will probably have lots of roll without good coilovers so the only way to correct without the correct set up would be driving skill

as for suspension arms (idc about haters either) mine was built off ebay, ebay brand stuff, in my oppionion the same as name brands and i drift my car and it holds just fine (going to my second and third event this weekend)

so yeah maybe a package deal online somehwere i couldnt tell you but that would be the cheapers to get the traction, toe, upper, tension rods first...if more money get subframe collars (or bushings depending on application), home depot that subframe brace and enjoy
