Default experiance and true fixes for wheel hop

First time at the track this year with the new clutch/12 bolt/mt drag radials and the first 60-100 feet the car wheel hopped to beat the band.My teeth are loose!
I'm checking things out and the pinion is around 1 degree up and the LCA's are near level with maybe 1 degree going up towards the back.I'm thinking LCA brackets and -2 pinion? Any thoughts? Thanks for any input.
I have
1. BMR LCA's
2. BMR adj panhard w/rear centered
3. BMR trans crossmember placing the mount off the trans w/poly bushing
4. upper spring bushing gone w/garden hose mod

get the back of the LCA's down and go to at least 0 pinion angle. Also, ive seen shocks cause wheel hop, so with that said, what rear shock package are you running?

i had wheel hop and i had the relocation brackets added, put the bmr lca in the bottom hole and have not had any wheel hop since..(sometimes i have not had much traction either,but that will change soon ) but they seem to clear up the wheel hop up for me..
