its a guy on here selling 1 for 230 i believe. so would a non adjustable one with a preset angle also fix it as well?

Agreed. Getting a T/A will help, but a good set of LCA's with the LCA relocating brackets will do wonders.

I think tires have a big effect on wheel hop. When my car was bone stock, it had no wheel hop. When I lowered it on the 315's, still no wheel hop. Then I added LCA relocation brackets, still no wheel hop.

And now that the car is sitting on 225's for the winter on cheapo wheels (so I can still take it out time to time) it does this weird little flutter type wheel hop when I get out a little hard from a dead stop.

well let me ask this ?, because i was looking at the edlebrock t/a and its set at -2 degrees is that a alright angle for the t/a to be at? and lca's are on the list too, with the income money ;)

LCAs, PHB, TA will solve it

Are you on stock LCA's? (God forbid)

Get a good set of strong tubular LCA's. If you already have some, then relo brackets like popo8 said.

I actually had no wheel hop problems till I lowered my car... then it happened all the time... the relos and it was good even with the stock LCAs.... but now with the square tube lca's (and the whole lakewood setup) that car is a BRICK!

yeah i been looking around for deals on them, so popo do you think there is a big difference from the non adjustable lca's and the single or double adjustable 1's? would i see ant benefits from the adjustable 1's at all? or will the non adjustable 1's with relos be good enough for the street and a little track time?

NON adjustable lcas will be fine as long as you use the lrelocation brackets. Those brackets will make a hell of a bigger difference then the adjustable lcas and as far as torque arms go, most racers and the chassis guy I help sometimes set gm drivetrains using a torque arm at -3.

lcas, relocation brackets, subframe connectors, torque arm, and sticky tires = 0 wheel hop

Yes you guys were correct, got the LCA's, Relos and PHB on a couple of days ago and it bites harder and I'd BE DAMN, no more wheel hop. i love my new mod.

After the 9" it took a set of 3 way adj drag shocks to fix my wheel hop. I had adj. TA, panhard rod, lca's, and still had wheel hop until I put the 3 way adj. shocks on the car.
