rear suspension advice ??? ASAP please

How do you check to see what is causeing wheel hop in my car. I know what all the rear suspension parts are but I'm not for sure how to check if the lca's are junk. Something is definatly wrong though because when I mash the gas in first gear I get massive wheel hop. Also does anyone know the rear ride height on A 91 rs camaro. I think my rear coils mght be sagging a little. Thanks

Well, let me tell you a tale, and You can take from it what You like.


On My 85 SC, the springs were sagging In back ( and front ). I was also getting really bad wheel hop.

So I went to SLP and bought some takeoff rear springs for 25$ and put them In, No more wheel hop.


A couple Months Go by and I got some Jamex lowering springs. I put those in and the car is much lower now, Lower than It was before while sagging.

Hello Wheel hop!


Not as bad, but still evident.


My Theory Is that the change in LCA angle is whats causing this, Maybe someone else can Verify this ?


Thanks.

So it looks like LCA relocation brackets and Steve Spohn LCA's are the Fix.

Money I dont have right now )
