for the lcas i would reccomend a fixed length combo. one end poly, one end spherical. this will elimante and
binding and limit NVH to accepatble levels. a have the boxed bmrs and no problems so far! love em

start with the lowers and if you need an upper then get it. lowers are enough for most. Get what you
need. And uppers transmit alot of NVH. if your lowered or want to adjust your pinion angle, use an
adjustable upper

without wheelphop -

I would get the hop totally randomly stock. Then had LCA, and got it much less, but still on a rare occasion. Now have the UCA and relocation brackets, we will see this year.

That hop is severe, if you didn't have a dash rattle, you just might after a few launches with some hop, lol.

Oh, if you really want to get rid of it the cheap way, leave TCS on!

Thats weird never had wheel hop during burnout (but I don't do John Force style burnouts) just had wheel hop street driving, you know taking hard corners.

I got the LCAs/UCA mainly for launching at the track, the M/T drag radials are awesome and need very little warming up, the LCA/UCAs squat the back end down big time, then I am confident going down the track it won't get loose, I couldn't imagine running 500+ HP on street tires, scary!!!

I guess I should have clarified random, yeah, never had hop on a burnout, just a launch, (back road)street or track.

i had hop on launches and even on taking a corner a few times.. Installed the lcas and so far all ive had is a slight amount of hop like probably 1/30th of what ive had before. if you didnt know what it was youd probably think the tires were just slipping

If wheel hop is still an issue after installing lower control arms then the cure is lower control arm relocation brackets. They will stop any wheel hop issues that you still might have. By altering the geometry of the lower control arm you are able to move the instant center of your car which helps in weight transfer. They are an easy install and shouls be welded if taken to the track. If anyone has any questions about any of our products please give me a call.
