Default bad wheel hop

I just bought a car with a around 500rwhp. The car is a 6sp. 3.90 Gears, 315 Nittos DR(for the street). It has a UMI Torque Arm(2203),LCA Brackets,SPohn LCA, SPohn SWAY BAR, HAL 12 shocks.

I notice the torque arm has 2 mounting holes for IC. Which mouting hole is for what.I went to there web site and no info. DOes the top hole hit the tires harder or softer? what should the pinion angle be? I was going to check it and set it for -2 The shocks are set right now on 6 from soft(going to tighten them up). I also have the LCA in the bottom hole.
Any help would be great
Thanks
Jeff

Hello Jeff
Sounds like the shocks are too hard....soften them up...what spring are you using? I noticed that you had a few questions regarding our torque arm setting. On the shackles. The bottom hole is the stock location. And for faster weight transfer the top hole is recommend to allow the tires to hit harder. And once you decide on which location make sure you make sure the pinion angle is -2 thats what we recommend for best all around performance. If you have any other questions feel free to ask.
Thanks

OK I just wanted to make sure you didn't have lowering springs or something along that line. Try softening the shocks and see how the car responds then.
Thanks
