I always turn tcs off as part of my starting routine, so that wasn't the problem. I guess I'll just have to check to see if they're tight and proper....I guess I'll just have to live with it. Thanks for the ideas guys.

Default RE: Maybe I was wrong about the LCA's

I sometimes get wheelhop in my car too, but that's if I'm REALLY using the throttle in 1st or 2nd gear. My car also likes to get tail happy shifting from 1st to 2nd with the TCS disabled. Lot of this is just the nature of the live axle, and I also think tires have a lot to do with it too. I am looking to replace the front and rear suspension on my car with the Multimatic/FRPP handling pack, as well as a Chromoly Steel Panhard rod and Chro-mo Panhard brace. I'll likely also get Chro-mo LCA's and UCA's to dial the rear end in fully. I agree with what the others have said about replacing just one item or two, instead of the whole package. Sometimes you can't get the full potential out of some mods until you get the other parts that work together with it too.

Best of luck to you dude...

Mine will wheelhop in first on concrete, but not second, and it bounces like hell! I just ordered some LCA's and hope it helps. I just know any kind of clutch dump, or to much gas in first makes me have a ton of wheelhop with my 275's -Jon

I have the Spohn LCAs and no wheel hop on dry or wet. I try not to spin on wet though.

I got LCAs and UCA, no wheel hop, the rear end stays down no matter what you do, maybe you should get a BMR UCA installed as well.

Just a thought !!

Yeah, I guess I would consider doing UCA's too, but I don't want to just waste it if it doesn't help. Does anyone have experience doing UCA's after installing LCA's by themselves? Does BMR make non-adjustable uca's?...or does anyone for that matter? Thanks for the help.
