Do LCA's help with NON-hop traction problems?
I posted the following under the Handling and Braking forum the other day but didn’t get any takers. Perhaps some people here on the Drag Racing forum could help me.

From the old threads it seems clear that either or both can help traction by reducing wheel hop.
My question: will they also help with traction problems that don't seem to involve hop??
[Some specifics on my situation: I usually but not always hook very well with 60’ times about 1.71 to 1.73. Frequently, though, I will spin and only get 1.76 to 1.80 but it doesn’t feel like it was hopping. If the track is not well prepped, I will spin more often. The only time I have noticed any hop is once in a while coming out of the burnout box on cold days. I’m running 4.10 gears in a Strange 12-bolt, 3200 stall converter and ET Streets. I have sub-frame connectors and the car has NOT been lowered.]
