Mini tubs and more rubber on the road?
LSD, locked diff?
Caltrac bars?

Lots of options, how much Rand do you have?

Good quality tyres, not cheap crap. The trade off with extra grib [tyres] in cars with small diffs and tranmissions is that you also increase your chances of breaking axles anf gearboxes. or uni joints [small uni type] if still using OEM drive shaft

195/65/15 is very tall, have you tried 195/50/15 or 195/55/15 ? 65 series would be a rather large side wall [bouncy]

65-wide tires? There's a problem. Fit 205 wide and it will be much better.

What kind of traction problem do you have? Drag-racing problem? Wheel tramp/bounce on takeoff? Oversteer when cornering? Or just spinning the tires?

It bounces all over when i take off hard,(I like doing that!) Its like the rubber grips to much on the tarmac and starts bouncing (very irretating) need to get the power on the track and not the springs???

Thanks for the pics, unfortunatly i cannot open it, dont know why? Can you maby email me.

ps. The rubber is 195 wide 65 profile. I realise it doesnt help with the bounce But it look lekke anyway there must be a way to overcum this.
