I need more traction off the line. Besides sticker tires what I can I do to get it to hook up? Lower Control Arms, Tq Arm, Panhard Rod. Thanks.

Off the line traction... first I'd start off with some LCAs and relocation brackets, and put the LCAs at the bottom hole of the brackets. If that doesn't work, get a torque arm... adjustable if you have any kind of a drop. Also if you're on stock shocks/springs, you might want to change those out for something that'll help you plant to the ground better. A larger rear sway bar with poly bushings/endlinks will help too. Panhard doesn't really matter for straight line traction, but it will help for cornering purposes.

And of course, stickier tires will help... all the traction mods in the world won't amount to squat without the tires to match.

Tires will make the single biggest difference in off the line traction. Everything else you do will help control the traction.

I got a BMR a-just-able torque arm and NT555R. Torque arm set at -2. Nittos at 15psi. My car is a A4. This helped my off the line traction.
