Default LCA vs Torque arm

If I got either LCA's or a torque arm which one would control spinning (not hop) at launch?

I'd consider new sticker tires for your car before the others.

Stickier tires would be my first mod for hooking then the LCA after of course the subframe connectors.

LCA's with relocation brackets, and a decent tire should set you up ok for now.

You might end up chasing your tail on this one...getting stickier tires might induce some wheel hop, causing you to look at the LCAs and Torque arm. Upgrading one part will quickly introduce the weaknesses of the supporting parts...

That's why I'm going ahead and changing the LCAs and TA before tires. I'll just see how it hooks and act accordingly.

I guess the Nitto's i'm using are sticky and decent and I thought LCA's were for wheel hop which I have none so Im not sure if the springs are stock or not so I'll check to see if the stock LCA's are horizontal if not I'll get the relo brackets if they are I'll try the torque arm. I'm just looking for a logical order to reduce wheel spin .
