Default Hops like a bunny

So I have BMR lower control arms and panard bar (non adjustable) with sportlines and when I slam into 2nd it hops like bunny, what can I do to fix this? Car is a 2000 M6 SS.

Do you have the relocation brackets with those LCA's? If not, I recommend to do the relocation, it cured my wheel hop.

Agreed with the LCA relocation brackets. I had horrible wheel hop before when I had some eagle f1 gs-d3's that were going bald. When I got new tires, it helped but only because they had more traction. I got brackets when I installed my strano springs and it completely eliminated any wheel hop.

I also agree, I would try a set of relocation brackets. Since you are lowered the control arm angle is changed, using the brackets will correct the control arm angle and increase your traction.

I hope that helps,
Ryan

I have a question about the relocation brackets. Does anyone have a picture of the control arms before and after installing them?
