Message	I currently cannot get traction from 3500 rpm up when running 15 psi in second gear and I have wicked oversteer even at moderate speeds. It is very frustrating so I was looking for tips. Here are my current settings. Stillen Sways: Front-2nd Hole Rear-Middle Hole Tokico Shocks: Front-3 out of 5 Rear-3 out of 5 Tires: BFG Comp. TA KDW 235/35/19 All Around @ OEM PSI Alignment: Front: Camber -2.0 Caster 9.0 Toe-in 0in. Rear: Camber -2.0 Caster N/A Toe-in 0.125in. Springs: Tananbe Springs w/ Tein Solid Pillowball Mounts Other: All front and rear bushings have been replaced, subframe and diff have been replaced, transmission mount replaced, and 1 piece driveshaft installed. I bought the tires I did because at the time, no one else was running the Rays G35 wheels and I wanted to make sure the I didn't need to put the fronts in the rear and rears up front based on the offsets. I am going to 265's as soon as these tires wear out, but I don't really have the cash to just change them now. Also, I have a pair of 10's in the trunk like Chris sells and the extra weight still isn't helping me get traction. My thoughts were lower the tire pressure in the rear, soften the suspension to 2 all around (as it is pretty harsh right now), and soften the rear sway bars (I don't know which way to move them from center since I bought these second hand so some help here would be great).
