Wheel hop is suspension. Wheel spin is tires.

Just learn how to launch it is all I can say. It feels like 80% of the time I get wheel hop and 20% is wheel spin when I break loose. When I don't spin/hop, it's an absolute monster, just learn your launch and you'll be fine.

LCA relocation brackets change the angle of your lca to help keep the wheels planted assuming that you have already lowered your car.

Well then the throw some stiffer springs and some relocation brackets and some wider tires and see if that helps. I know what your talking about though because my ass end breaks right at a hard 1-2 shift also, its a trade off for having so much power.

Yes. 15X10's require sway bar relocation.

Tires that hook and LCA relocation brackets. Tires will make the biggest difference.

I run the UMI relocation brackets.

Do have to do anything else to your car besides just put the springs on.

Not really. But it is highly recommended to change the shocks and struts and put in some real strut plates like the GT500 style. You will also need an adjustable panhard bar and a good alignment.

Basically what Bullitt said. I change my dampeners with Koni STR. Ts, have Maximum Motorsports caster/camber plates and a BMR adjustable panhard bar .
