Default Ok why is my car wheel hopping

I still get horrible wheel hop, suspention is Badz lower control arms with BMR(weld in) relocation brackets, with hotciks springs and stock de carbons. It seemed to have gotten worse when i put the relocation brackets on. This is also on street tires

I never had an M6 LS1 and my A4 didn't wheel hop. I would imagine though that some DR's would eliminate it. The F1's on my Cobra made it hop horribly. Nittos killed all the hop. Take it FWIW...

Move the controll arm up one in the RLB to see how it helps.

Moving them up would be a horrible idea for a lowered car. They might possibly be on the higher hole and need to be on the lower hole.

Only thing a know to do is replace the shocks. I just recently installed relocation brackets and my car it's lowered with the Pro-kit and it cured all my wheel hop on Kumho tires. I'm also running stock Decarbons with stock LCA's and stock Panhard rod.

Go to the lowest hole on the relocation brackets if you haven't done already. A poly bushing at the tranny end of the torque arm helps also. Do the LCA's you got have metal rod ends? That would help also.

i would also suggest a poly bushing on the trany end of the torque arm. mine was eatin up pretty bad and that helped a lot, when i added my LCA's it killed my wheel hop problem. and i still have stock torque arm.

edit: i also have a poly tranny mount, i beleive this helped a lot as well.
