#6163, "Better Traction for my '96 ESi???"


          

Hey everyone,

I've got a '96 ESi and I have the HRC Stage 2 kit on right now running 5 psi. I plan to up it to about 7-8 for daily driving. I have HORRIBLE tracion right now with the tires I have...they are stock 16's all weather. I was wondering what I could do to get some traction out of my car?! Right now when I race I rev to about 3 grand and then drop the clutch and floor it...and I can spin all through first, all through second and part way into third.So what all would I need to get some tracton? I know I need better tires. Also, I was thinking of lowering my front end about 1 1/2" and my back end 1" - 1 1/2". Would the combination of lowering where I specified and some better tires help at all? Which kind of tires do all you turbo people recommend? Your help is GREATLY appreciated! TIA!
