I have purchased the Steeda LCA's, they are not installed yet. I have not experiance the wheel hop thing yet...I did my first burnout yesterday, launched it at 4k, it went right to the rev limiter much quicker than I thought, banged second, again right to the rev limiter...I did not feel or hear anything resembling wheel hop, I am trying to determine if I even need the LCA's
, Can some tell me how to produce the wheel hop so I can determine to sell or keep the LCA's. If I had my choice, I would rather not have them because I dont want to increase noise or comprimise the ride. I purchased the Steeda street/ race LCA'sand am running 32 psi in the stock tires.

that would make sense...the upper being the culprit...if you think about it its logical...although the stock lca's are pretty wimpy.
I am glad to hear those bmr's are working out for ya....they look awsome

Maybe I should say I do not know where to purchase.

I just received a set of BMR LCA's. Did anyone use silcone grease with these? Is regular grease good enough?

I don't think you can use regular grease. The petroleum may imbrittle the urethane bushings.

bugga... I used regular chassis grease. The BMR's are a bit tight in the front, had to really muscle them in there. And they're about 1/4 inch shorter than the stocks, center of front hole to center of back hole. I don't know whether to leave them in or send them back. One the plus side, they've substantially reduced wheel hop with no noticable negative side effects.
