I've reused my bolts several times. I check the torque whenever I'm under the car and it's always the same.

You might have adjustable shocks, did you look?

My car used to be lowered in the rear but I got brand new stock springs to help with clearance. I had progressive springs but swapped them out so I could make it over a speedbump without embarassing myself.

With these lca, will the rear end squat less when under hard acceleration?
I'm not sure if the tires would rub under hard acceleration also, but I would figure some stiff lca would reduce the amount of squat when launching and grabbin gears.

No, squat will be the same. You need adjustable shocks if you want to control squat. Also, the fenders on these cars are pretty much rolled from the factory. As for the LCA hardware, I've reused mine so many times I lost count. Blue loctite is your friend.

Today I launched my car a few times so I had something to compare the lca to. I did notice a little bit of wheel hop but was actually surprised because I launched several times at 3200 rpm on street tires and actually hooked!
