Probably need a torque arm; although shocks can also have an affect.

Depends on what your goals are for the car and its intended use. Just a good set of replacement non adjustable shocks (like a Tokico) could be adequate or if you are looking for being able to tune the suspension to your liking we also offer QA1s and Strange adjustable versions. If you have other questions I can help you with please feel free to ask.

might be worth throwing a $15 poly torque arm bushing on there...

i know with the TA bushing, and LCAs...even before my brackets...i never had ANY wheelhop. the wheels just gripped hard...well untill the cam..then they just spun nice and smooth
