suspension mods that will increase traction from a dig
 
Change my rear tires and got 275/40/r18 n555 but i still cant seem to solve the traction problem. I mean my car doesnt hook up well from a dig.

can u suggest wht else i can do to improve traction from a dig? (already have lca and uca)

Are those 555 tires 555's or 555"R"'s? If they are just 555's you need some street slicks instead of summer tires. That will make the biggest jump in traction. Are your lca's and uca's adjustable? You may want to check your pinion angle and make sure that is adjusted properly.

Whats better adjustable uca or adjustable lca? or should i get both adjustable?

Most seem to agree that solid lower control arms and an adjustable upper third link is the way to go. The relocation brackets are a weld in piece that has a bunch of different lca mounting holes. By changing which hole you have the lca hooked too you change the angle. Also you didn't say what kind of tires you had summer tires or street slicks. A set of mickey thompson ET streets, or M&H slicks or nitto 555"R"'s will make the most difference in your traction than the UCA and LCA's.

I made the mistake of getting the nitto 555 and not the 555R. Btw if i get the 555r how much will they hold up(miles)?

theres bolt in relo brackets out there also
