Lower control arms needed with Nittos?

I want to put some nittos on my car because my RE730's only pull off 2.33 times. But with nittos will I get wheel hop under hard launching?
So LCA's should fix this right?

Another question... For you guys out there who only added LCAs, how much did it improve your times from using the stock ones?

And would you suggest getting the relocation brackets? Would it affect cornering?

Are you getting wheel hop now?

Before I put on my Drag Radials, I was getting some bad wheel hop, the rubber bushings on one of my control arms was worn pretty bad.

When you get better traction with the Nitto's they will be more prone to flex, so you can either buy some aftermarket lower control arms with poly urethane bushings, or box your stock ones, and decide whether you want new rubber or poly bushings put into them.

I would suggest some Race Duty BMR or SPOHN PERFORMANCE Lower Control Arms with their RELOCATION BRACKETS.

Don't skimp on not doing the brackets because those alone help like crazy

I myself got the Spohn Pieces and I'm happy. No wheel hop yet but my best 60 so far is a 1.84 on a 315/35/17 Nitto Drag. I dont have much torque

I probably will go BMR for the LCA's and i guess brackets..

I only get wheel hop if i side step the clutch with 2 people in the back seats. Other than that no.
