Help me hook up
Hey all my mods are in my sig and besides DR's what suspension mods do I need to hook up better on the street/track. I haven't been to the track yet although I do plan on going soon. On the street if I ever try to "punch it" in 1st or 2nd I just feel like I'm spinning them. I'm not even talking about racing, just like getting on the interstate and such. I appreciate all your guys' help!

Toe arms and trailing arms are what were suggested to me and I haven't had any issues with wheel hop at all.

Your biggest improvement in traction will come from different tires.....DR's, as you mentioned, will be a significant improvement. Other than that, your best bet is to start trying to reduce wheel hop. As Juice2SS said, start off with some Trailing Arms and Toe Rods. And don't forget the outer Trailing Arm Bushings which are sold separately. We typically recommend the TCA026 Trailing Arms with BK006 Bushings, and TR002 Toe Rods for most street-driven vehicles.

Best deal that I have found to stop the wheel hop. My car feels much more planted and stable. Cant comment on how it reacts at the track YET but its a noticeable difference on the street and only took me a day to install in my garage. Its amazing how much of a difference a few cheap upgrades can do.

I know you said besides DRs, but I have to say the INVOs are probably worse for traction than the PZero Nero tires that come on the car. If you don't want DRs then what about something like the Nitto 555 Extreme IIs? They have a 100 treadwear rating instead of the 260 or so the INVOs have.
In addition to the other things mentioned above, think about the adjustable rear sway bar from BRM.

While you have the rear end pulled apart putting on the tie and toe rods, add a set of sub frame bushing inserts or stiffer bushings. The inserts will help without adding extra vibration. I'm pretty sure BMR makes them, but I went with whiteline and haven't had an issue.
