Bad Wheelhop Problem

Hey guys,

Will BMR tubular lower control arms eliminate my terrible wheel-hop problem?

Also, will I be able to tell a big or little difference installing the BMR panhard rod, BMR LCA's, and BMR tubular SFC's on a T-top Camaro?

Thanks,

In my opinion the single best mod is LCA relocation
brackets.

Are you running Nittos? I have the BMR arms, bar and torque arm with relocation brackets and still get wheelhop. I am suspecting the nittos.

I'm running BFG KDW's, and the wheelhop problem was mild in the summer, terrible now. There are some relocation brackets at the shop, I might pick those up.

I would def recommend the reloc. brackets, there pretty much a must if its lowered.

The cold weather def makes a big difference.

These are things I installed and I don't have any noticeable wheel hop with the Nittos on hard launches:

BMR boxed LCAs, Edelbrock Torque Arm, poly rear sway bar bushings/endlinks, poly trans mount. Those things really helped plant the car's rear to the ground and eliminated most all the flex in the drivetrain.
