i really need to do something better for traction,as soon as i hit boost in a low gear or get on the car fast it just spins the wheels badly.and if i take off from first when racing its just spins all the way into 3rd gear and it sucks cause i cant catch traction.im not getting drag tires cause im not at the track and i cant drive around all the time with them,im thinking of either getting an LSD,or some traction bars.I just dont know how well traction bars work.Does anyone know what would be best,or what kind of traction bars,or lsd to get.thanks,

traction bars will help a lot.
i have the same problem. i plan i getting traction bars as well but i don not know if they affect street cornering at all. i think evan2 havs them, u should pm him. slicks will def help for the track but dunno what to tell ya for the street. i have the nitto 555 drag radials aqnd they dont help that much more. i do have an lsd but it isnt helping that much w/ all the boost i'm running. a lot of it is really practice, i'm not a pro and i know i need a lot more of it too. u just gotta master feathering your clucth and knowing the perfect rpm to launch from in your car

some things i plan to add to help traction on my car is lsd, traction bars ,and i also hear that motor mounts inserts help a lil
i have traction bars, granted im not boosted ... i was before and trust me traction good luck
good suspension will help
good tires
you can run drag radials but they dont last forever
traction bars, meh that helps kill wheel hop and trust me they are great for handling you wont have any bad thoughts for draily driving
a staged boost controler, ie profec b.. have it give you low boost in 1st gear and then raise the boost up once you have caught traction
trust me there is no secret trick to it, there are a few things to help but its hard to come by
turbo hondas are more of a hwy car imo.. its to much on the street.. for me at least in a gsr with 10.5lbs tuned,, i would get ya in 3rd but spin 1st n 2nd.. once vtec kicked in i would roast the tires

Thats about it. Their is no secret to pulling off the line an not cooking the rubber.... Its all about practice the more you do the better you'll be......... One thing I started looking at is , it not the frist off the line that counts, it the frist one accross the finnish line that counts.....
j/k...hey i got traction problem too, just too broke rite now to fix it. my wheels spins all the the way to end of third gear, thats when i catch traction.
traction bars and better tires
The cross members are basically the same as a lakewood traction bar

Just make your suspension really solid with a polyurethane master bushings kit from ES
