NAsty wheel hop..
 
OK guys I have a 02 ss A4, it had lts,tune,373s,catback,cutout,lid, and some 275 nittos...my suspension is eibach sportlines, and stock front shocks, and kyb rear shocks. Now last time I went to the track I did a little burnout, and when I ran the car it spun pretty good. And it had so much wheel hop/spin my rear view mirror popped off :( I know for sure thats not good...right? & I ran a 8.2 in the 1/8 th that night, that was the best I could do due to me spinning. My question is if I add some LCAs and a torque arm, and a drag bar, and but some bmr springs and koni shocks 4x4. How much will it improve my time by? From a 8.2.....thanks guys

whats your 60ft?

I believe that night was 2.1 and I was pissed because before I added lts, cutout,tune, and 373 s my 60ft was 1.9 :(

Sounds like you just need some LCA relocation brackets. With those springs and no relocation brackets your LCAs are pointed down. Thats not good for your Instant Center and is most likely the reason for your wheels hop. Also check things like your torque arm mount.

K so LCAs , got it :)...now as far as some time improvement what can be expected? If any...

No not LCAs lol the relocation brackets for your stock LCAs. There like 60 bucks.

Some other sponsers offer Bolt in LCA relocation brackets but I try to stay away from bolt in stuff. Its up to you. That should take care of your wheel hop problem, which is hard on the rest of the car.

I would say you should easily be able to cut a 1.8 short time with your setup, if not better. They say every tenth you pick up in 60ft doubles on the big end so... it should be a very noticeable difference.

i used spohn brackets and was on stock everything else.. check tranny and torque arm mounts too... i did all those an my short times dropped by .5 on 10" M/Ts...

+1 on the relocation bracket. also wouldnt hurt to get adj, T/A, adj. LCA and adj. PHR to recenter everything after lowering it.

I have been 1.48 60's on bolt in founders performance lca drop brackets and adj lca's with no problems. I would suggest the weld ins if you were confident in your rear staying in your car for a long time or dont mind cutting them off. I broke my rear and im glad I used the bolt ons for that reason becausr the 9" I am building utilizes factory bracketry and the lca brackets are a direct fit.
