I just use the car for steet use. everything is a WS6 (1LE) stock suspension accept for subframe connectors and my 2 drop with koni adj. shocks.

What can i do to eliminate all the wheel hop and loss of traction. Do i need new lower control arms and relocation brackets, panhard rod, torque arm????

 

eliminate wheel hop u need tubular lower control arms.since u loward it you need relocation brackets and also a adj panhard rod.

 

What he said.

 

i have heard adj. panhard rods can be a pain because they sometimes move around on you, thats why you should go with a non- adj. panhard rod?

Would a torque arm do anything for me, or should i first get: lower control arms w/ need relocation brackets and the panhard rod.

 

I would get the LCAs and the relo brackets first and see what that does, I bet it cures alot of the problem.

 

yes

any truth to this?

 

[QUOTE=sswin24]lowered cars will put rear axle out of line = need adj. PHB to recenter axle.
...non-adj. PHB, obviously, will not fix this alignent problem.


i also suggest relo. brackets.
and if u have 1le lca's, keep 'em for now and see how much just relo. brackets help.

 

What do the 1Le lca's look like??

They have all the parts.. Get spherical rod ends.. get adjustable everything.. since your so low.. Your going to need adjustments.. the geometry of the vehicle has changed dramatically since everything is sitting 2" lower..

 

2" drop with just koni shocks..... thats news to me. I've heard and see a 3/4" drop.


Anyways, You NEED an adjustable panhard, with 2" lower you would be able to see easy that the wheel is closer to the drivers fender then the pass.

The LCA relocation brackets make the instand center even again with a drop, so get that too.

The tubular (or box) LCA's wont flex and twist like the stockers, and are noticable better then the 1LE even.

Dont do rod ends unless you like cleaning and replacing them, and like noise.
they are ok if our a road course car, and not much street. but for drag and daily driving get poly/rubber combo

 

2" lowered with Intrax springs or what?

 

he says with his shocks....????

 

i never said that, I guess my sig is misleading. I have koni shocks in addition to some lowering springs that dropped it 2 inch. not sure on the brand. can't remember?

anyway... I have deceided to get LCA relocation brackets, Lower control arms and an Adjustable panhard bar. I went with company on ebay called UMI performance. I have heard good things $260 shipped to me for all 3.

I am also getting 17x11's in the rear with 315-35-17's or possibly 335-35-17's. so the adj. panhard bar was a must.

 

you're going to be rubbing hardcore with 315+ in the back with a 2" drop but good luck.
