2inch drop and NOW too much wheel hop, what do i need?
I just use the car for steet use. everything is a WS6 (1LE) stock suspension accept for subframe connectors and my 2 drop with koni adj. shocks.
What can i do to eliminate all the wheel hop and loss of traction. Do i need new lower control arms and relocation brackets, panhard rod, torque arm????

i have heard adj. panhard rods can be a pain because they sometimes move around on you, thats why you should go with a non- adj. panhard rod?
Would a torque arm do anything for me, or should i first get: lower control arms w/ need relocation brackets and the panhard rod.

lowered cars will put rear axle out of line = need adj. PHB to recenter axle.
...non-adj. PHB, obviously, will not fix this alignent problem.
i also suggest relo. brackets.
and if u have 1le lca's, keep 'em for now and see how much just relo. brackets help.

They have all the parts.. Get spherical rod ends.. get adjustable everything.. since your so low.. Your going to need adjustments.. the geometry of the vehicle has changed dramatically since everything is sitting 2" lower..

2" drop with just koni shocks..... thats news to me. I've heard and see a 3/4" drop.
Anyways, You NEED an adjustable panhard, with 2" lower you would be able to see easy that the wheel is closer to the drivers fender then the pass.
The LCA relocation brackets make the instand center even again with a drop, so get that too.
The tubular (or box) LCA's wont flex and twist like the stockers, and are noticable better then the 1LE even.
Dont do rod ends unless you like cleaning and replacing them, and like noise.
they are ok if our a road course car, and not much street. but for drag and daily driving get poly/rubber combo

anyway... I have deceided to get LCA relocation brackets, Lower control arms and an Adjustable panhard bar. I went with company on ebay called UMI performance. I have heard good things $260 shipped to me for all 3.
I am also getting 17x11's in the rear with 315-35-17's or possibly 335-35-17's. so the adj. panhard bar was a must.
