The 9" rear of that design sucks. Mosers have issue's to, same housings. You have to have control of the instant center and move that around.

Shocks and springs help very little. My car had 90k+ stock shocks/springs and never hopped.

Pinion angle should be pretty close to 0 to -2. BUT,depends on how you measure pinion angle too.

I've heard people have cured some minor wheel hop before by putting in better shocks, but these aren't serious drag racers. I'd go with what Slowhawk recommends in any case.

Yeah my car doesn't wheel hop at all. And don't listen to Jon. I've got bilstiens and a eibach pro kiit on my ss along with lca brackets and phb, boxed lcas, etc, etc. I think it could be a pinion angle. We did mine with the car loaded on jackstands and went from there. I think its at like -1

So your saying lowering springs and bilstiens are a good drag setup lol ok
