1 is softest 8 is stiffest...
i tried 5 front, 3 rear
8 front, 1 rear
8 front, 6 rear
8 front, 8 rear....
no changes on the wheel hop, just in cornering

i have R lower control arms and panhard bar on the way... all adjustable
only things is i dont know what the adjustments do yet!

well i was going to say before u buy anything call sam at strano parts and see what he would recomend. could be all u needed was bushings. i think u may be a bit overkill, what brand name u get on the parts? what bushings?
give sam a call and see what he says anyways.

with the stiff bushings u are going to have a lot of vibration/motion transfer. should stiffen the rear up considerably. let us know how it goes. good luck.
