Default Holy Wheelhop Batman!

Well guys, I get like, a LOT of wheelhop all the time. Haven't been to the track yet because I don't want to smash my car to pieces. It was cold out yesterday, got on it in 2nd, and wheelhopped through 3rd

For suspension mods, I have the eibach pro-kit, adjustable LCAs, and an adjustable panhard bar. I'm thinking I need LCA relocation brackets to make up for the geometry lost when I lowered the car...

Any other ideas, opinions, or suggestions?

Thanks,
Alex

I think the relocation brackets would be your best place to start and I am sure would cure a lot of what you are seeing.

Hope that helps!

From the research I've compiled today, it is.

for drag racing that is, for a road course or auto cross not so much. the relo brackets and shocks will be the first things to do, its those dont take care of it a nice healthy sized torque should do the trick
