    I did a custom turbo kit on my 420a eclipse and i had tration problems in first gear out the roof. so i know where youre coming from lol. I just recently installed some Tokico illumina adjustable struts. They seem to help considerably. the car doesnt squat hardly at all anymore and i have a lot better traction. i just put the fronts on a somewhat soft setting and the backs as stiff as they would go. lol good luck!

    All of those will help but slicks will be the biggest help. Get a set of 24 inch slicks and you will probably drop a second off your et.

    track=slicks

    street=mount inserts, traction bar, softer tires, suspension.
    modulating right foot=cheapest solution, but not the fastest.

    depends on what you're looking to do.

    street= soft sticky tires and 250 or so hp lol

    i must say though... i cant tell the difference with traction bars.... same 60ft with traction bars and without.

    if you dont want slicks, get some bfgoodridge
