Are u sure about that? the cars not lowered, thought that u only had to get the brackets if the cars lowered b/c the geometry is changed.

Get a 9" or a 12 bolt, that should help weigh down those rears <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

How many miles on your shocks because when I did Tubular LCAs on my car it was a huge difference but now my back right Shock is almost dead and wheel hop is happening very often when I never use to get it at all

I dont have wheel hop, but then again Ive got subframe connectors, lower control arms, and bald tires! If youve got the LCAs already, try the SFCs or maybe an adjustable PHB. A good TA will might help too. There are several ways to try, but as you mentioned money is tight, so Im sure you want to nail it before you go out and buy it. Im sure someone will pitch in their opinion that will really nail it, hope that helps.
