Your best bet is probably to compare your setup to the fast guys at your local track (if they are running the same car) and see what they're doing differently.

Try these adjustments to get more traction:
- more rear droop
- lower rear ride height (unless you need forward bite, then try raising it)
- thinner rear swaybar
- longer rear camber link (move the inner camber link location to a lower and longer location)
- more rear toe-in
- more anti-squat

Make small adjustments at first and run them back to back so you can tell if it made a difference.
Thanks!!!

What about shock pistons and oil? Does this play any roll to rear traction?
