he took the 2nd set off. stock rear suspension, stock stock not just stock style. got wheel hop in the 1-2 shift. is it the stock arms/bushings doing it?

You absolutely need the quads with stock bushings. If you use rod ends or really stiff poly bushings, you can delete 'em and stave off wheel hop.

With aftermarket control arms you can delete the quads. But since you still retain the stock geometry in the rear (and like Brains said) and still have stock bushings put the quads back on. I'd get some aftermarket arms w/ polyurethene bushings then you can take them off. -Mark

i figured as much, thanks guys:)

My Maximum Motorsport LCA's have Spherical bushing(sp) on the axle end and Poly on the other.
