[QUOTE="BMR Tech 2, post: 15183547, member: 174721"] There are lots of factors that come into play with wheelhop. If you have a good tire like your drag radial, it will help get rid of/hide wheel hop. Wheel hop happens when your tires are losing traction then gaining traction. That constant traction/loss of traction creates oscillation in the suspension. The fact that you are lowered without relocation brackets could also be hiding it as well. With a lowered car and no relocation brackets, your instant center and anti-squat aren't going to hit your tires very hard at all. Just because the wheel hop isn't present, doesn't mean that there's not a benefit to getting rid of factory LCAs or using relocation brackets. :thumbsup: You wouldn't be dropped 1.5" from your current set up. Our springs are a 1.5" drop from stock, so if you swapped your Roush springs out you would be 1" lower than you currently are. You don't need an adjustable upper/mount unless you have a 1 piece driveshaft or you experience driveline vibration after the spring installation. Relocation brackets are also not required, but they're a good idea if you're concerned with wheel spin/traction. Correcting your LCA geometry after lowering is pretty important. [/QUOTE]
