Default Shocks

Well i have really bad wheel hop.. off the line and shifting into second... I'm getting lca's and relocation brackets this week hopefully this solves most of the problem... But also want to put some new shocks in to help also...Would you recommend new springs also??? My car is mostly street driven with a few trips to the track... I just want to do it right the first time... Want to take care of the wheel hop but have the best ride...any suggestions???Thanks

Shocks are a very good idea to help with the ride.

Almost all springs are going to lower your car, so think about what's associated with that.

I heard good things about qa1 hals shocks and bad things lately... And they are mostly a drag shock... What setup would you suggest to help plant the car down on the launch but still handle good... Price is always a issue but only want to do it once...
