I need some advice. I lowered my car and now I get mad wheel hop. Whats the best and cheapest way or ways to get rid of this? Please include ideas ans links to the cheapest parts I can get. - Thanks-Brad

 

For a lower car i've heard your going to need re-location brackets to fix wheel hop problems. There are two type's weld in, or bolt in brackets.

Thanks bro- anyone know where the cheapest place is to get these?

 

i had boxed lcas and relocation brackets that worked really well. check jegs, or summit out the usually have good suspension parts.

 

Control arms and relocation brackets seems to do the trick for most people but if the car has been lowered your first purchase should be an adjustable panhard rod. When you lowered the car it shifted the rear end out to one side a little. Look at your car from the back and you should be able to see it, you may also notice that the car is sitting lower on one side than the other when looking from the rear. The adj. panhard give you the ability to move it back over. Second, I would go with the lower control arms (boxed or tubular...it's a big debate around here) The factory control arms have a tendancy to flex under heavy load and this is where most wheel hop comes from. The relocation brackets will help to force the rear to the ground a little better but some have seen unexpected handling loss due to whatever reason be it incorrect installation or just having the wrong expectations of what they would do. Check the site below for everything I've listed. I use them all

Also check out http://www.spohn.net/ they make some great stuff too.

 

ttt- What brands do you guys prefer? Does Lakewood make relocation brackets? Can anyone post a link, I can't find any. -Thanks- Brad

 

I'm not sure if Lakewood makes relocation brackets. BMR and Spohn are both good quality companies and I've heard good things about Lakewood stuff although I've never seen or used any. Just make sure you get weld in relocation brackets not ones that just bolt on.

These guys have great prices on suspension parts, particularly BMR control arms and Relocation brackets.
