what to get for better trackin ?
 
I have a 97 gt , alot of bolt ons and done a full exhaust ( headers all the way back to catback) and I have 373 gears . I have lowered my stang about 1 1/2 and I am now putting on the cast/camber plates with new sturts. The problem that I have when trying to race my stang from a dead stop or moving slow is that I can not put my tires on the ground , just sit and spin!! I have been thinking about the MAC PRODUCT upper/lower control arms but I would like to know if that should fix my problem and if not what else should I do!

Unfortunately, handling and making traction on a launch are somewhat crossed purposes. Whenever you make the suspension stiffer it hinders weight transfer for launching. Rear control arms will help some, as would a panhard bar and torque arm, but your best improvement without getting drag springs and shocks would be to get a pair of good drag radials.

trackin !!
 
What a am looking for is good handling more than off the line , sounds like I just need better tires !! But a little bit of both would be nice , so if I have sport springs and the sturts are for driving whats the best set up out there for my year ,,, ?
