help me eliminate wheel hop I have 01 camaro ss, I just installed a 9" and can't seem to get rid of this wheel hop. I went to the track and my ss wheel hopped though 3rd gear, Very frustrating. So while I was at the track I order some bmr lower control arms. I installed them last night, and I still had WH but no where near as bad. Please give me some info on how to get this completely eliminated. My suspension- koni single adjustable shocks, eibach pro drop kit, bmr lower control arms, and bmr adjustable pan hard bar. Oh and midwestchassis torque arm with relocation mount. All input is appreciated

Oh Sorry, I forgot to mention I tried to put those on, but they wouldn't fit on my 9". But I bought them off of eBay, I guess you get what you pay for. Do you know anyone who makes then for the 9"

LCA Relocation brackets really help. I'd call Texas Speed or Eric at Midwest chassis and see if you can get a set thru 1 of them for your 9 inch. Also, I had wheel hop with the UMI Poly/Poly control arms. Went to Dbl. Rod End LCA's and the relocation brackets and a set of QA1's in the back and all the wheel hop went away.
Check to make sure your shocks are not leaking if so replace them. I've seen new shocks go bad in no time. (3 months) Also, try to play with the Pinion Angle a bit as well. -1 -2 but no lower than -2 on the P.A.
Also, you can try playing with tire pressures. Believe it or not even adjusting the front High sometimes helps. Try different launching techniques as well. Leaving at Different rpm's and such. I bet it's just a matter of something small that needs adjusted. Also, make sure no Bolts are loose anywhere on the suspension you just installed along with the 9 inch.
Good Luck!

With the 9" you are going to need to use the weld-in relocation brackets for them to work. I would definitely recommend a set considering the car is lowered using the Eibach springs. It will add some positive anti-squat to the car which will help with traction and launching and will also correct the lower control arm geometry. We have tons of them in stock so if you are interested in a set give me a call here at the shop.

I had the BMR adj control arms with relocation brackets and it still hopped a little bit but not a whole bunch...then I installed a BMR trans crossmember with the chassis mount torque arm and it stopped completely
