Good shit, thx for sharing
I have a track pack GT as well. Just supercharged it and it breaks the tires loose pretty easy....last thing I want to do is break something from this thing trying to hook up and wheel hop. Plus it's no fun trying to do some skating but hoppin like crazy. :beer:

If you dial in the proper pinion angle with an adj upper control arm would you still benefit
from lower control arm relocation brackets?
from lower control arm relocation brackets?
Pinion angle and the LCA brackets serve 2 separate functions. If you are lowered, get the brackets. If you are stock height (like my car), you can skip the brackets and just mount the upper arm in the lower position of the mount. Then set pinion angle.
Yeah Im stock height. So -2 deg is best?
I've tried a bunch of different settings on mine. Anything between -1 and -2 is fine. If you don't already have it, get the Leveler app for your phone. ;-)
Crap. This might be the way I want to go then. Extra NVH with your setup? I would like more details so maybe a PM?
That's good to know.
Please elaborate on which setup would be adding more NVH.
Details please. Which springs? Any other parts?
I just got my 2014 Track Pack car 11 days ago. The first thing I thought I was going to change was eliminating wheel hop. However, now I'm more annoyed by the bouncing I get on some roads. I was checking out these springs to just lower the back down a bit. On the forums there someone mentioned all they did was change the shocks and struts to Tokico D-Specs and that took care of the bouncing. So I thought maybe I'd get the 55D springs then some Tokico's but then I thought that the price would be close to whole Eibach Pro System Plus (non adjustable though).:??:
So what I'm looking for is a good every day driver (minimal added NVH) that will do decent at the drag strip and occasional track day on a road course. I guess I need to figure out the complete setup I want and then either pick a starting point or just save up for a while and get it all at once. Suggestions?
That's good to know. I've put the LCA's and shocks in so that's my next move. I can't really feel the hop when I launch but it's audible on vids of my launches. I can't better than a 1.8 60 ft. with a 3.73 gear and 28 inch tires.
I am hoping to have a new video of our newest UTCA033 design

If anyone is interested in making a video similar to the OP's, with the UTCA033 - I will give them a decent deal on it. I am hoping to have the 033 done in a month or two.

I think the OP may be planning some more videos in the relatively near future.
No bearing, although that thing does look awesome! Springs/shocks/struts/panhard will likely be next for me. Going to flog the car with the stock stuff at an SCCA event soon.
First off...OP you are the man! Secondly...BMR Tech (Kelly) is the man! Can't wait to get all my new BMR shit next week! Launching the car and 1/2 shift feels like the apocalypse out back right now! That stock UCA is scary to say the least! Great thread!
Was you racing in the 1/8 mile? what's your times,speed,60ft time... cool video dude!
is the UCA the only suspension mod you did to fix the wheel hop issue?
1/4 mile. ~12.6 @ 112 and 1.9x 60ft.
I have lowers and upper. Lowers showed up in the mail first, so they went on before the upper came. With just lowers it still had some serious wheel hop, maybe just a little less than stock. The upper is what really fixed it, but I can't say for sure that just the upper and no lowers would do it. Other than that, my suspension is 100% factory.
did you the 5 gear shift? and is the uca noisy?
No, but I was hitting the rev limiter in 4th going across the line. Yes, the UCA adds a bit of noise. Not much, but noticeable. I've got 3.73s, which doesn't help. My current tune gives me another 350 rpm, so I shouldn't hit the limiter in current configuration.
what is your pinion angle now?
