Hawks 8.8 - LCA Relocation

I have a hawks 8.8 with UMI adjustable LCA’s. Also I’m running eibach pro kit springs.

The Hawks 8.8 comes with LCA mounts attached with numerous angle options. I have the LCA’s on the lowest one, but I’m still getting wheel hop when I get on it. Are there LCA relocation brackets that will allow me to gain another 1/2-1in in angle to stay planted? I tried the UMI bolt on one’s and they didn’t come close to fitting.

I called Hawks today and the guy told me today I need the hawks sinister bolt on ones. They’re on the way, but from what I see in their product description, they say they don’t fit aftermarket rears and they look identical to the UMI ones I told him didn’t work on their rear end.

Re: Hawks 8.8 - LCA Relocation

If you have the LCA in the lowest hole setting, adding more LCA angle is probably not going to help with wheel hopp.
you need to dive into your suspension and see what the culprit is.

9 times out of 10 it's just lower end or blown shocks.
Or Koni yellows set to stiff setting 3 or 4

Really? They’re almost direct parallel to the ground. I have koni yellows in there and they’re a year old. Try stiffening them up? They’re on the middle setting now.

Re: Hawks 8.8 - LCA Relocation
