      I would start with upgrading rear suspension and such first. Check out Founders suspension, best prices and great quality.

        Need a bigger stall in that LS..def need some suspension work done if you haven't already invested into it yet.

        Like mentioned founders is a great place to start.

          Relocation brackets and control arms will fix it.

              What James said, maybe even an adjustable torque arm too. Good shocks are also a must

                Yep, my wheel hop did not go away with LCA's and relo brackets alone. Adj torque arm cured my wheel hop..

                    Put a real tire on it. That will solve your problem at the track.

                      Every tire has its own "harmonics" so sometimes you run into these issues when changing between sets. My car used to hop with specific tires, but lcas, relocation brackets and adjustable torque arm fixed the problem in all situations.

                        I even just swapped out the torque arm mount with the energy suspension one since my stock rubber one was torn, what a difference that was as well. I have the lower control arms, panhard bar (adjustable type) getting the relocations brackets next and looking at the adjustable torque arm.

                          what do the relocation brackets do exactly? what does it relocate and where does it go?

                            You need them if you lower your car, it changes the angle of the rear axle so you dont end up with issues such as wheel hop or tear up the guts in the axle. Youll launch better with them. If its stock height they will help a bit
