i'm at stock height.

i had the stock LCAs and some crappy kumho tires, the wheel hop was pretty scary.

after i put on the LCAs (no relocation brackets yet) the wheel hop drastically went down to where it rarely happened. after i got some good tires on it the wheel hop was completely eliminated. i still plan on putting the relocation brackets on though.

So I got them on today and went out for a test and they hook maybe slightly better, but barelty. It does feel more solid than it did for sure. I think I just got a batch of shitty tires or something. Hopefully I will see a bigger difference this weekend at the track.

Default The relocation brackets lowered my rear end

So after installing the relocation brackets on my NON lowered car.

I have 4" gap from top of tire to wheel well,
& I have only 1" gap on the rear tires.

All tires are the same size with Koni shocks all around. Solid tube LCA's
I have constant front springs and progressive rears, all stock height.

I have the LCA installed on the lowest hole on the bracket. I do have binding even after re-tightening.

I wonder if I should just take the brackets off.

Just think its weird the rear lowered so much.

You definitely got something unusual going on because lower control arm relocation brackets shouldn't lower your car at all.

I think that since i Went with constant front spring I think they may be taller than stock and causing my front to sit higher.

Question is, which spring in the rear can help match my front?

Is there a tall rear spring over stock?

Thanks & sorry for beating a dead horse

What is a "constant" front spring? Do you mean a linear spring (opposed to a progressive spring)? FYI stock springs were linear and nothing should be taller than what came on the car stock.
Can you post pics of how the car sits, and the front and rear suspension so we can see if something stands out being wrong?
