I run Whiteline products on mine, including the brackets.

Yes, everything was done at once, as far as spinning, what other mods have you done?

You need better tires number 1. Or tires with a thicker sidewall if you're drag racing. These cars make enough power to spin any low profile tire. Number 2 the relocation brackets will help plant the car a little better but won't help your spinning issue. They are mainly used to help get rid of the pesky wheel hop. I have the BMR relocation brackets. Got them from jayman at hypermotive. Very good vendor on here.

+1 on the tires. You need a good set of DR's to launch these cars without spinning. Sidewall height is a big deal as well. Running a 60 series tire, I ran 12.0 at 116 lifting the front end, with a 50 series tires more of the same, then changed over to a 17" DR with a 45 series and it was spin city all over again. My new set is 325/50-15's, should hook like a monster with the new power!

They are ok/good at best handling tires. Horrible launching tires. I'd go with the NT05 or NT05R if you're looking for a decent DR. Only downside is bad lifespan. Very bad lifespan.

The invos are going to be what I put on the Vossens. They still aren't a good launching car. They are a VERY good handling and road course tire.

I love the Michelin Pilot Super Sports that I have on my car, they are also for road courses.
