LOL, no, you get stiffer springs. then count on getting aftermarket shocks in 6 months because the stiffer spring will wear out the stock one pretty quick.

shocks dont give more firmness, springs do. shocks control rebound of the spring so u dont bounce around like a ****.

the kind of problem im having is that when i start off on first gear the tires just spin and i mean just starting off slowly and then at WOT the wills start spinning and when i switch to 2nd my tires are spinning and they dont regain traction all the way untill about 7700 RPM, so pretty much thers just to much damn power, im wasting alot of thepower because of the traction problem, on ebay there al good deals on tokico and Dropzone Shocks/Springs, are any of these good?

What rpm do you launch at and do you make love with the clutch or just dump it?

i launch at about 2500 RPM but its not the launch, i can start off with traction and when i slam the gas down the car starts going and then the wheels strat spinning liek crazy, let me give you a better example, ok you know when your racing and when you switch from 1st to second you hear your tires queak a bit becuase there griping on reakky fast becasue you usualy have the pedal all the way down when you are done switching the gears? ok well instead of my car giving a little squeak the tires just keep spinning, there is absolutly no problem with my suspensio or tires there is just so much power that the engine is turning the tires to damn fast, its like reaplaceing a corvettes rear tire with toyote tercel tires and slamming on the gas or slamming on the gas in the ran, the question is...is mew tires the only cure or will a beefier suspension help enough, and what is this making love to my clutch talk?
