Default HELP! Still have really bad wheel hop

After installing a pair of weld in LCA relocators on my Moser 9", a new poly TA bushing, I still have violent wheel hop on the street or track. This totaly sucks! I cant get on the gas or my rear tires start jumping and the rear suspension slams into the bump stops. I also have Eibach pro springs on the rear, dont think they're hurting anything though. The only thing I can figure that's still causing my problem is the flimbsy pan hard bar that I custom made, it has metal ends and is very tight fitting but is too thin and when standing under the car on a lift I can push up or pull down on the PH bar and it will flex (made it out of 1/2" dia chromemoly tubing).

What LCAs do you have and where do you have them set up at? From what i have read up on hear i believe your supposed to have the LCAs set at the lowest level for the best possible traction. Im not sure just let someone with alittle more knowledge chime in.

Thanks Joel, I appreciate the reply. I have had LCA relocators on my 10 bolt (BMR), but now I have a Moser 9" and the only LCA relocators I could find for my new set up is the Sphoon weld in type which is what I have. I have them set on the lowest hole setting and the angle is great even with my Eibach Pro springs but still getting very vicious wheel hop.

I think the panrod is giving you some problems. I belive with lowered cars you have to get an adjustable panrod to center the rear.
