Suspension help?

Do I need relocation brackets with BMR non adj. LCA's? I had some axle hop at the track last week and want to know if the brackets will help. My car is NOT lowered and only has the LCA's as suspension mods.

No only if you lower it. try a larger rear swaybar to help out the rear.

Here is the problem, I am going back to the track on the 11th of this month and I want a cheap $ mod to help the suspension. Relocation brackets are relatively cheap. I'll get a torque arm for christmas, but I need to stop axle hop for next week.

I've read others who have said that the relocation brackets help stock cars as well, not just lowered cars. It depends on how much your suspension has sagged...

There is a way to tell if you need them, and it has something to do with if your LCA's are horizontal or not, but I can't remember for sure. Someone help me out here.

I'm surprised that you're getting a lot of wheel hop after LCA's. I thought that was supposed to take car of it.

I could feel it on the last run, and my buddy who was running next watched me. He said that it was hopping like crazy!
