preventing wheel hop The title says it all... I have a2003 C5 Z06 is there anything I can do to reduce or elim wheel hop. Dont get me wrong its not bad if and when it happens but I hear it can lead to breaking the rear which I dont want to do... On my T/a I added LCA's , T/A, PHB, this and that but the vettes are new to me , what can I upgrade thats not too expensive.
Good luck getting rid of the hop. I have had different shocks, tires, and wheels on mine and I have never gotten rid of the hop. It would even hop when I was running BFG drag radials.

I run 345 DR with 25 LBS. with Bilstein Sport shocks with no problems. Running 30 lbs. I get hop. Before the shocks and DR, I broke a drum in a RPM transmission with a little gas and a bump on the interstate. A DTE would help.

I had the DTE brace, both shafts, and good clutch. Broke the main shaft where it goes into the pinion gear. Twisted it in two with my cam only 03 Z06. It reminded me why`I did a solid axle in my 99 FRC.
