Does anyone know some great tricks to help stop my front wheels from spinning so much on launches? I know I can add different tires and wider tires, but I kinda already bought new tiresome just looking for some other suggestions.

I'll look into that, I was thinking maybe, taking out my back seats.... maybe that will cause more weight to shift to the front of the car, and on the front wheels. I would just need to find out how to take them out

I have the 2018 EXT, and I think I'm pushing around 240-250 hp in it and around 280ft of toque and not once have I had a issue with my CVT, and it picks up speed really fast and I love it, just wheel spin is my issue :(. I'm also scared to push anymore hp and tq

Try the 27won street rear motor mount. Helps a ton with launches because it reduces wheel hop, anti lift kit, lowering springs, good tires. Try to learn how to modulate your throttle to help your car from spinning maybe 75% throttle will help and slowly press into WOT as you start moving more.

Seriously - get new tires. I switched from Pirelli to Continental DWS 06+ and all spinning stopped immediately.

All those things plus the Myxal two-step

There's also adjusting Ktuner traction assist (advanced VSA)

Another vote for AVSA with enough BBG to limit power in 1st to not overly need AVSA. Stand with medium/moderate and 18-20# and see what that gets you. Remember to have cruise off or it’s disabled.

You may need to drop BBG by a pound or two between summer and winter from both the car making a little more power and your tires being a bit harder when cooler (especially if you have summer rubber).

It’ll only serve to hide traction issues from tires that are up to holding the power you have (and no FWD platform making decent power does great) but will let you flat-foot your accelerator and go as good as the car will let you.
