hey all...I posted something on this a little while back in the racing section and got some good info...but I have some other questions regarding the suspension of my vehicle so Im posting here now...not sure how to ask this so your gunna have to listen to the story...awhile back during the summer I was racing at the strip...on my launches I believe my car had too much "hook"...my tires were not slipping at all....as a result it felt as if the back end sat down and dragged its *** across the track, which I believe to be bogging...the car is a 96 A4 with no lsd...my question is, I am thinking of installing lca relocation brackets, as well as moog bushings, and SFC in an attempt to fight the bogging...Now the posts I've read concerning these items say they help with traction and help provide anti-squatting...I dont need anymore traction I need to not bog down...will installing these items help me or hurt me? They are providing both what I need, and what I have too much of...

Re: suspension problem?
lca's are ment to help you a$$ stick to the ground. sub frames are ment to help your chass. not to twist.
how bad is she really squatting? that's not a bad thing. the power is going to your rear tires and pushing you. you want her to stay low and not raise or hop.
you could go with a pan hard rod, and torque armWAWA-A-HOLIC

Re: suspension problem?
its bad...when I took it to the track the *** end felt brutal....felt like I was dragging an extra 3000 lbs back there...I had absolutly no wheel slip and I dont have LSD...its kinda hard to describe but the power just felt as if it was going everywhere but the wheels... my 60ft time was beyond brutal...I just rember hearing somewhere that the LCA relocation helps combat squatting?

Re: suspension problem?
how are you shocks and struts? did you upgrade them yet? your rear shock probably can't hold the hpWAWA-A-HOLIC

Re: suspension problem?
no havent touched them yet lol...but this is only happening during launch, when Im moving already the car flies...if the shocks/struts were bad, wouldnt it always be bad?

Re: suspension problem?
my car used to squat also - i replaced the rear shocks with competition engineering drag shocks and put them on the stiffest setting. that was 4yrs ago and they still work fine.

Re: suspension problem?
your transfering all that power from a dead stop. so it would be the worst from the start.
do your lcas and shocks and struts. you should be fine thenWAWA-A-HOLIC
