I have zero intention to auto x the car and might go to the 1/4 track but also am not particularly worried about that.
I just want to get better traction on the street. I get zero noticeable wheel hop and it seems counter intuitive to me that putting more power to the ground is going to help me not spin the wheels but am told the suspension parts will keep the back end planted better and help maximize the contact patch especially under hard acceleration which of course will help the tires not spin.
I decided to go ahead and order the trailing arms and will see if they provide me with more traction. I'll report back and if they do I'll buy some more stuff I have had recommended otherwise I only wasted $200 and will be far less upset than if I waisted $800ish.
As for driver skill:
I'm pretty damn good in a straight line and above average in the turns, definitely not as good as an auto Xer, but definitely better than the average person in a straight line. I have a couple utube videos if anyone wants to give me some constructive criticism. People have said my timer is off and not to trust it but no one has criticized my technique.
Wait...I thought you said you had 305-30's in the rear. Now you have 315's?
