I think the shocks suck.... but that's not the issue he asked about. He wants straight line traction. The top 3 things for that are LCA's, LCA brackets, and a Torque Arm (all of which we carry--numerous types in fact).

rear shocks wont help with traction sam? i swear i had better traction after replacing my rear shocks...had just them on for a few weeks before i got my springs...HUGE difference...especially controlling the rear kicking out around corners

Shocks will help if he's having issues like wheelhop or some such thing. I'm not saying shocks wouldn't help, and god knows I think that's the biggest mess with the car. I'm simply saying that given what I know, what he said I'm just telling y'all what the 3 biggest traction things are (not that he'd need all, and it doesn't mean he doesn't need shocks).
