Um...... I am pretty sure you can't link to you website being you aren't a sponser FYI.

Go adjustable its nice because if you get a new rearend you will want to center with and adj panhard bar, you get 28in tall tire you will want to center those in the wheel with adj lca arms. Get a adjustable trq arm so you can adjust the pinion angle as needed. Every car is different and will react different to parts. Need to play with the suspension and find out what works best for you. Don't waste you money twice get adjustable everything the first time!

PM StreetStalkerZ and ask him how much of a difference there is

It would be a great place to start. If you do buy a torque arm, buy one that uses a crossmember and tie it into subframe connectors. Adjustable control arms would be a waste of money along with relocation brackets (on a car that isn't lowered). A larger diameter stock replacement sway bar is a great addition.

So some qa1s up front and non adj. lca for the rear, sounds like a start to me. Would stock springs work up front still?

So on the launch you are getting wheel hop? Is it like a thumping or a chittering sound?

Here is my phase I approach:
!front swaybar
aftermarket LCA's
Front QA1 R shocks

The shocks can keep the front end soft during the launch. The R shocks if they still call them that will keep the nose from dropping and bouncing like the very first shocks sold by QA1. Aftermarket LCA's will help because your stock bushings are probably all beat up and causing your wheelhop. For a mostly street car stay with poly bushings in your LCA's, don't do rod ends, because they can be a bit clanky.

Phase II:
Rear QA1 shocks
PHB

Phase III:
Torque Arm
Madman travel limiters

Phase IV:
Make more power

Yea its kinda chattering the tires. I do have the front sway bar off already. Qa1Rs and Lca sound like its going to be the ticket.

You can swap out the LCA's first and see if that cures the chattering, I think it might. We used to get that with stick LS1 cars and sticky tires back in the day.

I had lakewood lca on my old car. It did help out but it still would chatter some too even cutting high 1.5x 60's.

Hmmm I've never had that problem once I did LCA's. Sure you don't have some tired shocks too? Stock shocks I think are basically 50/50's. If you do aftermarket shocks you could try running them a little stiffer. Are you full weight?

I'm in agreement with PSJ. Once I installed LCAs and PHB I never had wheel hop again (3 different f-bodies). You don't NEED all the fancy adjustable crap just to hook well but it won't hurt you down the road if you get serious. There was a recent thread on here where a guy boxed his stock LCAs and PHB to get rid of wheel hop. You should add poly bushings as well, that's the best bang for your buck. I'll see if I can find the thread.

Pretty close to full weight. No spare tire or jack, 15" wheels, no catback, no front sway bar. I would guess 3500 with me in it. Car has 88k so the shocks do have some wear and tare.

I also have a bad wheel hop problem. I left my rear BMR sway bar off when I did my 9" ( I know, dumb). I have LCA's and BMR adjustable TQ Arm. Could leaving that sway bar off cause my serious wheel hop? Ran 12.5 at 114 witha shitty 1.94 60'.

You need a rear sway/drag bar of some kind. I drove around without a rear for a while, like 8 years ago, car drove like total crap. It lost all handling capabilities.

OP, you have to fix that wheel hop so you don't break your rear end.

if im dead hooking will a rear drag bar improve my sixty any...

it doesnt make sense to me if im dead hooking that more suspension would make my sixty faster...

i have BMR suspension.. LCAs Springs TQ arm panhard bar etc etc.. drag bar is one of the few suspension components i dont have.

TA1364

iTrader: (11)

I always thought a drag bar just leveled the car out when launching. If your dead hooking I would guess it wouldnt be worth very much ET.

lemons12

iTrader: (71)

thats what i figure also.. but if i could get anything out of it.. i will do it..

i guess my question is....

if your hooking with LCAs only.. then you add tq arm pan hard bar and drag bar... are you going to go any faster?

Try it and find out

wish i had that kind of money..

i have too many other things that i need...... ok, want...

I would have someone video your launch. If you have any kind of body roll you are loosing a little sixty foot. An air bag can help a lot. If you still have issues a bigger sway bar or drag bar will fix things.
