Thanks guys and Jenibella for all of the comments and advice. I have installed a pair of the BMR rear coil spings. The ride height is the same, just had to remove the rubber piece, The relocator bracket I have has 3 settings, it was built by Extreme Chassis, the lca is set in the one closest to the ground. The rear of lca is lower than the front. My pinion angle is at -2. The next time out will be June 2, I will tighten-up the front struts, and go from there. Will keep you all posted. Thanks!!
Why would you tighten the front end down to cure this problem????? 
No offense Jenibella but Race cars dont squat only women do.
Get the control arms to run uphill from rear to front. Then get a good antiroll on the rear. Tighten the shocks on the rear to 5-6 and run the car.

Normally I try to get atleast 2 degrees uphill in them.
jenibella I guess I should have said "Squat when they Pee"

I will post my .02, since I have seen the car run, it runs great by the way Charles.
I always noticed that the front end lifted to full extension instantly - like within 1 foot off the line! Making the front adjustments like they said might take care of most of it. Have fun!

Change that rear spring and you should notice a tremendous difference.For any one wanting to know about these brackets....They have 3 adjustment holes from stock instead of 2 like Everyone elses....This 3rd hole is what most cars like that are lowered by a pro kit or even a sportline setup.....They put more angle in the LCA then any other relocation bracket....More angle puts a closer to the rear instant center and does what the little picture posted above does if the right springs are in the rear. Cut springs wont work. Need to be a manufactured set of springs that are unmodified or cut. I run the Prokit on my car and in testing this car has seen 1.3 60's with a STOCK Torque Arm. That car makes right at 800 ft lbs at 4200 rpms.

Madman, how much lower should the rear of the LCA be from the front?

I can take some of them on my car too if you'd like. Installation is critical with any welded suspension product.
