well here is my situation. About a month ago I hit a pot hole and put a nice crack in my rear rim. I put on my drag radials from my other car (i did'nt know they fit or i would have had them on at the drag strip) and still burning the tires...i have some progressive rate lowering springs on...
I can't drive the car in the snow so i got new tires put on the other rims 205/14/60 tires...Well the fronts were great ..the rears alittle different.
I put the tires on dropped it down and i was sittin on the fenders wtf.
i had a set of coilovers laying around........:idea: I pulled the progressive rate spring's off and on with the coilovers i raised the rear about 1.5" then raised the left rear an extra 1/4" and daaaaaaaaaammmmm...there was a crazy differance in launch. in first I still spinn but not as bad. second grabs nicely with a little spinn when you first let the clutch out, and all grab in third.(reg street tires nothin special)
the rear spring's are alote stiffer than the progressive springs were, it drives even better than before..I'll swap the fronts next week and see if there is any differance.
tire rub was why i raised the rear..
raising the rear higher than the front acctually puts more weight up front.
raising the left rear puts more weight on the right front tire.(the tire that spins first) Damb i need a lsd.
seeing that this is a traction thread, post up some of you'r problems and what you came up with to fix them.
I would like to keep this thread going because we all na or boosted have the same problem.
