Get the nonadjustable BMR UCA, the combination of both UCA & LCA feels fantastic, but here's the thing, you try DRY Pavement?

I went for a ride today and wheel hopped on some wet pavement

:bang:

Looks like I need adjustable or non-adjustable upper control arms. I have no idea what I need but I'm still wheel hopping it seems. If I got adjustable I'm going to need help from somebody to dial them in. I'll wait until track season starts for that and have Mike or George help me dial in.

Ah crap.....this was the main reason I bought these! We have had one of the rainiest winters ever here. If you get the upper control arm please let us know the result.

I almost bought an upper non adjustable, but got an adjustable panhard rod instead. It looks like I may be caughing up another $99.

This wheel hop is annoying! I like being able to just hang the rear end out a bit on a wet road every once in a while. On a wet surface it is effortless and not much wear on the tires, very fun. But with this wheel hop, I just can't do it, I am afraid of shaking the rest of the car appart. :notnice:

Having both is a great combination, but with just the LCA's I had no wheel hop!

This wheel hop thing is mysterious too. Some guys have it bad... other don't have it at all (like me).

Maybe if you have these, you don't get wheel hop.

I haven't driven a car that's not experienced wheel hop in the wet. Wait till it's dry out and launch it.

I just looked under my 2005 and I do not have this extra support at the rear axle. I have one of the early 2005 GT's. I have also experenced wheel hop on dry pavement. I have the Sport Line springs as well. I will pay my Dealership a visit tomorrow to investigate.
