Off the line, what is the best way to eliminate the wheels from spinning like crazy?

I know I could get wider tires, and I've heard getting lower control arms also help, but are there other ways? I just hate when my wheel spin keeps me from gripping to the road.

 

The two things you stated are the best.....or just launch it like a grandma.

What do you want? Something thats free? Better find another hobby if so....

 

Soft rear springs to transfer weight, sticky tires, wide tires, good shocks.

 

I know better than that. You get what you pay for. I was just looking for the best ways.

The rear springs make sense, didnt think of that. Wider wheels seem to be the most sensible next step

 

I can't see a mostly stock 2v having that much of a problem getting traction.

 

Do you have crazy bald tires? if so just invest in some decent summer tires and most of your spin will go bye bye

 

My tires are stilettos they are what came on the car when i got it. its supposedly a good tire.

Me and my friend with a camaro rs sometimes mess around racing and stuff and my car always seems to take alot longer to grip the road

 

That's one of the down fall with Mustangs, the rear ends are to light.
Tires would probably be the most expensive, then springs, then shocks.
I may be wrong though.

 

Were talkin the same springs used to lower the car right?

 

Yes.

 

There is something free... pull the front swaybar when you get to the track. It'll help the front wheels droop and get weight to transfer to the rear tires. Adjusting your pinion angle to get a couple degrees of snout down at rest helps too.

Apart from that, don't expect much on street tires. Drag radials will help.

 

I was going to say drag radials as well. I just got a set a Mickey Thompson ET Streets and it's night and day over my old street tires. Of course if this is your daily I wouldn't recommend that's where you start due to not getting a lot of miles out of them. Although a lot of people say the nitto drag radials get better tread life and they would be safer in the rain.

 

I run my car with -3 resting pinion angle, no front sway bar and Nitto DR's for daily driving. I cant floor it on take offs but it holds pretty good on shifts. I also have a lot more power so this will be perfect but if you like the corners I dont recommend losing the sway bar. My car handles like a truck at the moment and its no fun. The real problem is when the outside temp is 50* or less...these f'n tires will not hold at all. I lost control of my car one night on the 1-2 shift car spun sideways quick like...scary ride.

 

Lower tire preasure will make all the difference to, but wear and tear way faster for a daily driver.
