Traction bar to help prevent wheel hop. Limited slip in your trans to get both tires putting power down rather then just 1, proper suspension setup like RW said.

Run radials, I ran em for a year on the street with no issue. How much power are you pushing, that is causing you to get wheel spin?

was at 304 but bow that ive brought her to her new home 3500 feet below her tuned elovation idk. not too much. but my car has pretty much been gutted, and my wheels are light, and i have shiiiiiiiiiiiity suspension. and a nice torquey (sp?) gsr trans..
But my question was just how much does suspension help on a car. just wanted to know before i spent the $$$$. but i do know how important suspension usually is, i ride dirtbikes and street bikes and suspension is almost always the first thing to do! just didnt know if a teg would benifit/could justify spending 1000+ on suspension when i dont care to hit a carner to fast and i have other things that handle great and dont care to make this one handle great lol

I feel its important, like RW said slam the front and leave the rear a little higher. The only problem I see in his post is the fact that the "drag" kit is nothing more then springs, you can't really adjust springs like you can coil overs

LSD, Higher spring rate... Ground control, Nitto Neo gen My bud is pushing 380 on them and he said that he dosent spin much anymore like he did with other tires. Camber kit, will help make sure your tires are flat and making the most contact..

just lower the tire pressure, if you haven't and feather the throttle, then just cross your finger that it hooks, also try getting a camber kit because if its "hellaflush" your tire aren't making the best contact to the ground you want those hoes to be flat making maximum contact between rubber to pavement
edit: didn't notice some1 said camber kit already

If you do not have LSD you can be spinning one wheel like a bastard and have the other just rolling along.
The eibach drag kit is just springs like NERK said. On my old EK I had eibach sportline srpings with tokico AGX adjustable shocks. I believe it was 5 level settings with just a twist. Just a knob on the rear struts and one on top of the fronts.
Set up worked great. As for the traction bar, you may have to modify considering the turbo etc. may be in the way.
Personally I think limited slip differential and some nice tires will suit you best. You could also do a boost by gear, limiting the psi in lower gears to decrease wheels spin.
