Default strains at launch

when I take off from a dead stop the car feels like it shutters and strains it feels like wheel hop but I can feel creaking under the drivers floor board. Do you guys think I have a suspension problem?

Hello
It sounds like its you car just flexing! Might be time for Sub Frame Connectors! They will eliminate that problem and make the car more solid! Below is a link to show you what UMI Performance has to offer!

If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I will be more than glad to help.
Thanks
Brad

What tranny did you swap to? What kind of torque arm is in the car? It could be several different things causing the creaking feeling that you are experiencing. Give me a call here at the office and we can go over your setup. Its much easier to diagnose a problem by talking to the person. Im in the office mon-fri 8:30-5:30.
