Getting power to the ground?

It seem like I'm not getting enough power to the ground, I'm spinning out at launch a lot. I got new pirelli tires which helped a little, but what else can I do to get more grip and power down to the ground?

what kind of suspension setup do you have? you can install urethane suspension bushings and even polyurethane engine mounts/inserts to help get more power to the ground. but if you do so, your ride will be noticably rougher and with the engine mounts/inserts, the car will vibrate quite a bit at idle. but once you start going, the vibrating goes away.

get a stiffer shock/spring setup. that'll help. also like i said, urethane bushings. almost all FWD cars have traction problems when you have a lot of power. and even when you do upgrade the suspension, you'll still lose some traction on the launches. even the stickiest tires can slip. practice, practice, and practice. the best way to minimize it is through a good suspension setup and grippier tires.
