  • traction problem!

    ok my car hops when ever i start to spin the tires. what would be good to fix this problem. im fixing to go and do some suspension work anyway. including strut tower brace, sfc's, and sway bars. would this help or do i need some more stuff? thanks for the help.

    For the price I'd suggest Lower Control arms and a poly torque arm bushing!

    Should get rid of most of the wheel hop!

        My car hops like F***ing bunny!
        But I DO have the lower springs, so I probably should get LCA relocation brackets?

            If your car is lowered you need the LCA Relocation brackets to keep the correct geometry of the LCA's intact.

              the swaybar will help a little, but the lca's will help a lot more. u can either get lca relocation brackets and standard lca's, or adustable lca's andno brackets.

                new shocks should solve it...if you still have stock shocks with lowering springs that is....lowering springs kill the shocks...

                    Is that true?
                    I thought the idea was to make the LCA's parrallel to the ground again, becuase lowering the body changes the angle.
                    How would adjusting the length of the arm do that?

                      I experienced this back in the day.
                      All I did was upgrade to hotchkis lower trailing arms and pan hard rod
                      It completely eliminated all wheel hop I was experiencing.
                      BMR is cheaper though
