when i switched to my 18s with Drag radials on them i got the pleasure of also gaining a lot of wheel hop on the 1-2 shift. I already had SFCs and LCAs so i picked up an adjustable TQ arm from Spohn and all my problems have since disappeared. So if your LCAs don't fix your concern, that is the way id go.

Relocation brackets for the LCA's are often cited as the best way to reduce/eliminate wheelhop on 4th gen f-bodies, assuming that's what you've got. As Injuneer suggested, some specs on your car would help.

I never can understand how people can give these detailed answers without knowing what kind of car is being discussed. I guess they just ASSume its a 4th Gen like theirs.
