Wheel Hop
 
Suspension mods eliminate wheel hop, tires fix the symptom, but not the cause. Replace all stock bushings, upgrade camber and traction arms, stiffer springs or coilovers and upgrade diff and diff bushings as well. Better tires do help, but the reason for wheel hop is losing and regaining traction constantly over and over again because of your toe changing back and forth during acceleration. Eliminate or minimize this with suspension mods.

I still get the dreaded wheel hop in launch and slamming 2nd!

List ov whats dun so far to try and alleviate it...

1) Nismo S-Tune springs/shox
2) Yoko ADVAN AD08R 295/30R19
3) OSG LSD
4) SPL rear diff AL bushings
5) SPL rear traction linx (radius rod)

I guess next up are the SPL rear camber links and knukle monoball bushings for the rear axle housing. I plan to have these installed by the end of the year.

For the rear the camber arms + midlinks will apparently take care of it, but for the front, are the control arms enough or should the bushings in front and rear be replaced as well?

It will help with handling, but the rear suspension is all u need to improve to help with wheel hop.

I'm told that all you need are different rear diff bushings. Like Whitelines.

1-Bridgestones suck.
2-6k and release the clutch. (Kenchan is holding out-he taught me this). Or power break to 6k.
:woot:

Once i put my car back together this weekend i will make a report of my SPL bushings i put in. I also have spl everything else in the rear end too. Stock rear diff bushings i got horrible wheel hop at autox and It got worse when i put in my LSD too. So hopefully this solves the problem, if not then SPL solid subframe bushings.

I have the whiteline rear diff bushings and my wheelhop is still very bad.
so i am going to do the rear camber and traction arms next to see if that helps.
Last time at the track the wheelhop was horrible

So at the moment a standing burnout is impossible til i get this fixed
more power you make the more these problems creep up

:inoutroflpuke:You have too much tire pressure. You need to be able to turn off TCS, & launch with revs without hopping.
