Default Wheel Hop

Well i have khumos 712's right now and after i heat them up really good i have major wheel hop... Now i'm getting a set of nitto drag radials and i want to take care of the wheel hop...That seems to be what kills the rearend... What suspension parts in most to least order would help me cure my wheel hop.... Thanks...

1) LCA relocation brackets (rear link geometry)
2) adjustable, stiffer torque arm (geometry, flex)
3) stiffer LCAs (component flex)

I have wheel hop on my car too. Just ordered the adj. SLP torque arm. Going to see if that works, if not. I'll just get LCA's. One mod at a time!

Will the bmr bolt-in relocation brackets work the lg2 LCA's... Cause i heard only good things about g2 lca's....I want the least amount of road noise.... What type of shocks are the best all around street/strip combo....

Well they should work, but you're probably safer to get relo brackets from the same place you're buying the LCA's

Anything welded is much better then bolted IMO...

Cheaper route that worked for my friend on his 02 SS. He just changed the stock rubber torque arm bushing to a polyurethane one. No more wheel hop for him. Maybe he just got lucky. Who knows, you can try this and if doesnt work then you already have a poly bushing for your new torque arm
