GG/Vita/Cynic, question about install

I have has this installed for a while now, and I am still getting a fair amount of wheel hop. I am sort of sure it is related to the position of the two adjusting bolts at the top of each brace. I was wondering one of you guys could take a look at this and tell me what to adjust.

It should be pretty well pre-loaded. What i've seen recommended is to have someone push the engine one way and adjust the brace for that. Unscrewing either the top or bottom one should work, but I'd recommend the bottom one just because it's thicker and probably more resilient. There shouldn't be any movement in that dampener at all. How much to adjust depends on how loose it is for you.

Well, i had the braces sitting in a toolbox for months before i actually installed it, so I don't know what they were orig set for. There is no movement on either of the braces at all. But if i get the wrench, i can adjust both braces one way or the other a little. Do I want them Unscrewed as much as possible or screwed in as much as possible (if that makes sence)?

Unscrewed...That will tighten them down and resolve your issues
