Well some of you may know that I was having a heck of a time getting the bolt/nut loose on the driver side. I was able to rig up some tools and was finally able to get it off and the new lca in. Anyhow, in a way I was hoping for a bit more of improvement then what I got. The car seems more solid feeling the in rear, and when I get on the gas it seems to "squat" a bit more firm then before. But the tires still seem to spin just as bad if not worse now. It also feels like Im getting some wheel hop now too. I think next Im gonna throw an airbag in there and see how well that works. Its not helping im sure that my Nittos drs are about shot and its very cold out. Cold as in about 16 degrees F! Damn Wisconsin, oh well. Any suggestions on what should be next for suspension mods? Thanks

Do you run alot of air in the Nittos?

Either way, when it is that cold out, it is hard to avoid wheel hop.

I wouldn't worry about it at this time of the year.

 

I think right now they are at about 26-27psi.

Hmm you are spinning DR's and getting wheel hop. I'd say try relocation brackets if your car is lowered.

 

Yeah, 16° is going to cause traction problems - I don't care what kind of set up you've got going on.

Some relocation brackets can help, even if you're not lowered. This is, of course, when it warms up a bit. Getting decent traction in the kind of weather you mentioned is a little unrealistic.

 

Relocation brackets help out a LOT, even on a non-lowered car. For a solid launch you don't want "squat", you want "lift". If you changet he angle of the LCA's so that the rear is a little lower then the front end ofthe LCA, then when you lunch it will push up against the bottom of the car ("lifting" it) and drive the tire down into the pavement. It will get rid of all your wheel hop and allow you to launch really hard!

 

Thanks for the responses guys, I think I'll look into relocation brackets next. The car is not lowered and I do not intend to lower it either.
