So I got the 2" lowering springs and installed them - they worked great - car now sits level (as measured from the top of the rocker panel to the level garage floor).
Test drive showed no signs of wheel-hop. Of course this was not on a prepared racing surface where I will get better traction - so we'll see. But I do hope the wheel-hop is gone.
ALSO: since the car sits different now - the leak at the pinion seal runs down the bottom of the rear end housing, it's not dripping off the dust shield on the pinion yoke. As soon as my mechanic gets to me, I think he is going to re-do the pinion seal and put extra sealant around the outside of the seal. I certainly hope that will fix it this time.
