I finished installing my LCA's last night, and to be honest...I do not notice a difference.
The axle-hop that would happen....when I took off quickly is still there. My tires still loose grip, and hop a long for a bit before settling down. I do notice that it takes less time for them to grip....but I do not see a "no more axle hop" result as others have found.
Anyone have any advice or comments?

Richard,
My wheel-hop decreased quite a bit when I installed my arms (urethane on one end and helm joint on the other). It would only hop a little and then only at the drag strip. I later replaced the upper control arm also with a helm joint and that completely cured the hop under all conditions
Unfortunately, it also made the car a lot more noisy and harsher under normal driving conditions. I guess you have to decide if the trade off is worth it to you.

Yep, sometimes these mods turn into more than you bargained for. I have a set of springs I still am undecided about weather or not they will ever be put on my car, (when it gets here)?

I still have some wheel hop with my Steeda billet LCAs but only about 30 or 40% of what it was. MMR Annihilator adjustable upper is on order and should arrive any day now...

Great to hear they work so well. I am definitly going to do the LCA's and I'm considering the Upper. Hey, Boss Hog, can you mix Heim LCA's with a urethane upper, or will that cause some sort of disagreement with the suspension.
