Try putting the lcas in a different hole on the relo brackets see if that helps.

But, you want your LCAs to be as close to level as you can get them. You might need an aftermarket torque arm to control the wheel hop. I did.

Even if you dont have wheel hop an aftermarket torque arm is nice! Mine seems to make the shifting smoother and everything plus the car doesnt seem to torque as much on hard shifts now either.

Yes, it stopped the wheel hop completely. I have a Spohn body mount TA which I have learned to make work for me and live with without vibration. There are some tricks to it and it took some work. It does provide good traction. I would probably stay away from that one on a street car though. I'd get the longer TA that mounts off the transmission.
