sorry for the probably redundent question but since the search function is about as useful as a honda civic in the nextel cup i figure i might as well just ask...


what is the best mod to help reduce the amount of wheel hop our cars have. I know theres no 1 cure all means of ridding the axle from winding up and hopping, but whats a good first suspension mod to start getting rid of it on a 98 ws6

Hop is slop and damping. Less and more are good.
Lift is link geometry and perhaps bending. Fancy
parts may help, picking the right part needs you to
understand what the action is. Tires are in it too,
a tire that bites is different from one that smears.

I would begin with the shocks. Presuming no mention
means stock and 10 years old.

Things that affect hop

torque, gearing, driving (launch style), wheels + tires, torque arm, lower control arms, springs, shocks

hope that helps

Shock Hawk

Lower Control Arms. Get 3 part rod ends. If you're lowered, get relocation brackets... weld mounted preferred. This will fix your geometry to the best of my knowledge.

car is a stock ws6. Have a repair order that came with the car that both rear bilsteins were replaced in late 2002. I intend on keeping stock ride height, or only a slighty lower stance but that is in the future. The car has fuzions 275 40 r17 zri's on it now, and i intend on getting some nittos for the rear.

I was thinking of a spohn torque arm, and adjustable panhard for my first two mods...yes no maybe?

The panhard bar isnt really going to do much for your wheel hop. It will do wonders for centering the axle around corners though.

The torque arm will likely make a good bit of difference. UMI makes wonderful stuff also. Great support, good reputation on the forum.
