Suspension upgrades to help get a better 60'
 

One of the things I want to do this is to upgrade the rear suspension so I can launch harder. I talked to JDP Motorsports and they recommend their "Anti wheel hop" package. The price is exactly what I'm looking to spend, ~$500. Is this the best bang for my buck out there? What have you guys done to help cut a better 60'?

Thanks.

JDP has a reputation on this site as being one of the best places to go to for advice and parts. Both (advice and parts) are high quality and bring great results.

I am not a fan of any poly sub-frame bushings currently available. These are barely better than the 2010 - 12 OE bushings.



Your 1LE has improved solid rubber rear bushings and much improved front bushings. I wouldn't replace them with the poly that is available. Solid mounts will be a big plus, but they do shift strain and load to the sub-frame. I am partial to the DSE aluminum sub-frame bushings.

The Z/28 trailing arm knuckle bushing would be a plus, but they are not sold as a part separate from the Z/28 hub. The first place I suggest you look for improvement is to get your alignment checked. For drag racing and hard launches the critical specs are:

Rear Camber 0.00
Rear Toe IN 0.12
Total Toe IN 0.24

What tire pressures are you launching with?

Solids for sure, I did the BMRs and it was not enough. Also did more upgrades, but those and trailing arm/bushings would be a good start. Justice Pete and JDP are top notch...

That is the best package available for the money without question. Please feel free to call, email or PM us anytime with questions.

The Prothane sub-frame mounts we use in our Economical Anti-Wheel Hop Package are 85A Durometer which is comparable to the Pedders HD mounts. The bushings in the above video are only 70A which is a little on the soft side. If budget isn't a factor the Detroit Speed Mounts are our go to mounts.
