:fm:As the title states, I'm having traction issues still. I had posted a thread about upper control arms a bit ago and was advised to check the pinion angle. Well I did some research on the subject and now I understand it a little better. Well to test that theory I decided to throw the stock springs back in to bring the car back to stock height and thus negate any pinion angle changes that were made when the car was lowered.
Results from that experiment: Still spinning 1-2 gear all the way to 7k rpm. 1st gear might be due to driver error on my launch, but it should still hook after the 60 foot mark. Shift into second and it spins all the way to 7k.
Notes:
-using 555R drag radials @ various psi (15, 18, 20, 25)
-aluminum DS
-4.10's
-bilstiens
-stock cobra springs: spins 1-2 but experienced horrible wheel hop with the stock springs
-when lowered on H&R super sports the same spinning occurred.
-mm LCAs
-stock uppers
Was my theory flawed? Or does that make sense? I'm about to drive this car to California and drive it into the Pacific Ocean :fm:
What else can it be? I don't want to just throw money at parts hoping that's the issue.
Would sub frame connectors help? I have them ready to install just haven't had the time.
