TCS Not holding up anymore.... :(
What up peeps,
tonight when I slammed on the gas.. the slip light came on (which has happened before) but the Max was drifting from the left to right!! First time this has happened after installing the Y-pipe (I do have other mods though). I was thinking if maybe I should get better performance tires. I am running on the Toyo Proxes 4 cause of the nasty weather here in NY, and they are a lot thicker then most low pros which is good for these roads. Plus they are not even 5K old yet, so I dont want to get rid of them yet. I am leaning toward the Stillen STB to see if that helps though. But as my homies..... I need your advice. What are the best options to get her to hold straight from off the line?

Motor mounts. FSTB does nothing on the straight anyways. Always take the TCS off when redlining, drops your torque in the beginning and horsepower.

I noticed that too, but I added TruaxMotorsports Chassis brace, RacinglinePerformance.com's FSTB, front & rear end links (all installed) to include their MMI's but not installed yet. When I gun it from a stop, I don't get the sway from left to right, but depending on the temperature, road conditions, etc, the TCS light will not come on.

Ive heard so much on the end links and I think its time I get those also. Do you think the G2R's would help out also?

Ok cool... I am glad I am not the only one having that issue. I will look into the chassis brace for sure. Ok cool.. I am gonna get the FSTB from racingline then.

I recently had some traction issues. I ended up taking the front 2 wheels off and putting more load on my front sway bar. The Racingline endlinks are adjustable, I just spun them around a few times with a wrench. I really noticed a lot tighter feel around corners and places where I'd lose some traction before...
