Stopping rear wheel hop
Hello All
Looking for suggestions to reduce, eliminate rear wheel hop after hard launch. I have the 17" tires, no suspension work yet. If it hops now, I cant imagine after the CAI and tune.
Thanks for your suggestions.

LCAs alone didn't eliminate my wheel hop. I'd say get LCAs, relocation brackets (might as well since you're going to be down there already) and do the same for the UCAs.

FWIW, I was told the UCA does more to eliminate wheelhop than new LCA's by themselves...

RE: Stopping rear wheel hop
I thought the LCA and UCA relocation brackets were only for if youre lowering the car? I mean if youre going to lower then yeah go ahead and do it, but if he doesnt plan on lowering (not sure, he didnt say) then wouldnt they be a waste?

The UCA bracket is just to make it stiffer, as far as I know. The OE Stamped Steel bracket, like everything on the car, is cheap... so it's always good to beefen things up. The LCA Relocation bracket is to lower the center of the car's gravity, and give it better traction on the launch.
