Default Wheel Hop, have done every suggestion ALL FAILED

Parts:
Moser 12 Bolt
Bilstein shocks
stock springs
Car is not lowered
Control arm relocation brackets (have tried multiple settings)
I have been through 3 different LCA's (Currently running adjustable Badz's)
BMR adjustable Panhard bar (I have tried others)
BMR torque arm (modified by TTP to fit Moser correctly)
Poly tranny mount
Sub frame connectors (dont know if they help or not)
Nitto 555R 16's

The only thing I can think of is the Nittos. I am going to try regular tires and see if I still get it. Has anybody else had this problem with Nittos? I get massive wheelhop even when the tires just spin a little. Sucks not being able to slide the car or do a decent burnout.

Check your pinion angle on the torque arm. Also, don't run a million PSI in your Nittos, that might help.

Pinion angle should be set correctly I have had 2 different shops do it, I have run the nittos between 15PSI to 26 which is where I usually keep them.

Does this happen on the street or track? I know Ive had hop on the street but no wheel hop on the track.

Which relocation brackets do you use? Are you using water for your burnout?

All street, I rarely go to the track but last time I was there I didnt have any wheelhop. Since I am hardly at the track though the wheelhop is a problem. I guess I just need to get a set of tires for the track and have teh regular ones for the street.

Make sure the LCA install was done with the full load on the vehicle then Check your torque settings on the LCA's, and your angles over again.
Good Luck
