Next suspension mod

I just installed my new bilstein shocks and 1le springs. What a difference over the original 96 stockers. I hit it hard and still have a little wheel hop as I punch second. I have LCAs, PHR and strut tower brace. What can I do now to eliminate that last little bit of hop?

BTW this is 96Z28 with CAI, long tubes, catback, 1.6s, and a good tune.

Adjustable torque arm or sub frame connectors.

Re: Next suspension mod

relo brackets even though I am not lowered? I thought torque arm right off, but I am trying to understand why this is even happening. I am not sure, but this may have started with the LCAs. I suspect headers instead, but now I can't remember when it really started.

Re: Next suspension mod

the brackets will still benefit you even though you are not lowered. although i thought the 1le springs dropped like 1/2" or something.

instead of the TA you could just put in a poly bushing on the mount. that firmed up my suspension alot, after i had LCA installed.

but i'd bet the brackets would help the most

Re: Next suspension mod

Well they are cheap and easy enough to give it a shot. What do you know about TA to accomodate LTs and Y? I assume I only have a few choices.

Re: Next suspension mod

all TAs should work fine with standard LTs and Ypipes. it's more of a hassle with true duals.

any of the TAs that mount in the same manner as the stock unit should work fine.
