Mini ladder bar, suspension help 2000 ws6. I did the 8.8 conversion with a mini ladder bar setup. My problem is under hard acceleration the body separates from the rear end a lot and does it very quickly. The result is wheel hop and traction issues. I'm hoping some of you have advice on what to do. I'm thinking of maybe a shock with a tight rebound. Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated.

This is something I built on my own. I know the instant center is very aggressive. The top bar is as far forward as I can have it without cutting the floor. If a shock will do the trick then I will go that route. If I have to fabricate a torque arm mount, I will go that route. Thanks for your help.

What you have done is brought the theoretical lifting point of the car very far towards the rear resulting in a lot of anti-squat. It is a double edge sword as since it is lifting the body, that force is also planting the tires into the pavement. But, at the same time you are lifting the rear end and shifting weight back to the front end and unloading the tires. This is a problem better fixed with changing suspension setup and geometry than shock/spring combination.
