Question wheel hop
I am getting confused on what fixes what. If you have a stock A4/98 Z28 what will get rid my wheelhopping problem the LCA's or the torque arm? Is there any advantage on a street only car to buy adjustable LCA's or would I be just as well off to box my stock ones in?

Is the lower control pointing up? or near level? they should point up in the front we offer a bolt on relocation bracket to help with this problem.. http://www.bmrfabrication.com/cabrackets/cab2-full.jpg

Default nope
The car is not lowered and has Bilisten shocks all the way round. I will have to check out the angle of the LCA's and get back with you.

I installed my control arm relocation brackets in 35 min...it took longer to lift the car and to support it with jackstands.
