Default Suspension question

I have a 99 SS that is completely stock except for an SLP lid. I am not going to add any more performance parts.
My problem is that I have massive wheel-spin under hard acceleration. I bought Spohn LCA'S and Pan-hard rod which I haven't installed yet.
This should help with wheel spin , but my biggest concern is the stock rear blowing up.
I figure as long as their's wheel-spin the rear will be ok, so I'm avoiding sticky tires.
Would adding these suspension parts increase the likley hood of breaking the rear?

Not really, the lcas will help the wheel hop problem a lot and the panhard rod will keep things a little more stable and help it handle a little better, keep them tires spinnin as long as you have the ten bolt though

Hello
We are actually doing a low budget build on one of the vehicles here and it still has the stock rear in it. It also features one of our 201621 kits and 2012 and a set of SFC's and it had drag radials on it and it held up decent it just depends on if you are going to be at the strip what you are going to leave at and limit your burnouts. If you do that you should be fine for a little bit (I am not guaranteeing it though....lol) I have no idea what your plans are for the vehicle.
Take it easy,
Brad

The car is an M6 and my DD. It will not see any drag time. I know the 10 bolt is a weak point on the car and I don't want to do more damage than good.
In the future I see Bilstein shocks, SFC, and possibly sway bars.

should be a very nice setup. the life of the 10 bolt is heavily dependent on the driver. keep it on street tires and don't launch like a maniac and you should be fine.

if its your dd try to take it easy on the rear, im not sayin its gonna break ive put a ten bolt through a hell of a lot of punishment before, but you dont exactly wanna have your car down because of that

agreed that the ten bolt life is dependant on the driver
