Whats the best solution to wheel spin and tire hop?
Just wondering what every one is using and what is turning out to be the best. I'm in serious need of some traction, or will be when I get my tranny back. I was thinking of traction bars. How much are the 4-links and coil overs going for? How hard are they to puton?

slicks, good posi and a set of caltracs or bolt on 4 link from www.kpcomponents.com and a coil over kit from www.cachassisworks.com. You have to make your own top bracket for the top of the coils then weld the brackets he gives you to your axle. easy to install.

I have all of my parts on the floor... gay 
4 link = 630
springs/shocks = 330
crossmember bar and shock mounts = 50
(I may be a bit off on the exact prices)
I did not shop for the deals. I think some of the other guys were comin in @ $900.
