What is the best way to get rid of my wheel hop, in a 2000 6 speed Z28. When ever I pop the clutch and get sideways or do a donut... The rear end hops like crazy!!!

 

The easiest and best way to get rid of wheel hop is with a good set of lower control arms and lower control arm relocation brackets. I would recommend our BMR non-adjustable lower control arms (TCA001) and our BMR bolt-in lower control arm relocation brackets (CAB002).

If there is anything we can help you out with just let us know.

 

i had wheelhop and i added all at the same time BMR sfc's; lca's & panhard bar problem solved! i should pick up some relocation brackets any sales coming up on those?

 

Generally most of our sales happen around the end of the year during the holidays but get with me when you are ready for them and I will make sure we get you taken care of.

 

Bad shocks will also cause wheel hop, But since you said getting sideways and doing doughnuts you might want to refrain from those unless you intend to replace the 10bolt in the very very near future.

 

Chances are the shocks are bad....go push down on the hatch, if it bounces like a lowrider change the shocks first. That's what was wrong with mine. Just curious where are you located.....Cali? Los Angeles?

 

i also have BMR LCAs and brackets. i pretty much have a fully modded suspension but what tires are you running right now?

 

Try the LCA relocation brackets first (w/stock lca's). For me, hooks like crazy and quiet/smooth as silk. Are you lowered or all stock?

 

I'm located in the Bay Area bro

To be honest bro I have blown the rear end out on every one of my muscle cars. It's just what I do.. I can't help but to swang the car.. It's something I can't even explain I could be having the worst day ever. And when I pop that clutch everything negative will go away.

275/40/19s. C6s with the spacer.

The car is lowered, I didn't do it myself when I bought the car the guy said the rear shocks where compressed. To give it the lowered look.

 

...anyway it's lowered you need LCA relocation brackets.

 

I am not sure what the guy meant by saying that the rear shocks were compressed but if the shocks have a bunch of mileage then they could be an issue also. But since the car is lowered I can tell you for sure that the lower control arm angle is off but can easily be fixed with the relocation brackets.

 

You don't need relocation brackets because your car was lowered... my car is lowered a little over an inch and with just good Bilstein shocks and 1LE style LCA bushings I got rid of all my wheelhop.

 

You right....what does a suspension guru and other posters who have chased this know...

 

ok,is it a DR type tire.

 

I generally listen to Sam Strano for advise on suspension setups, and he does not recommend relocation brackets if you care about handling. BMR is trying to sell something, of course they're gonna say you NEED something that they just happen to sell.

There are plenty of people lowered with stock LCAs that have no wheelhop problems, myself included.

Another issue to look at it is wheels and tires. He's running a 19 inch wheel... which is most likely very heavy and makes the shocks (which are probably 14 year old Decarbons that are totally worn out) work even harder to keep the axle under control. AND the tire has very little sidewall to absorb the shock of dumping the clutch. This guy doesn't need to spend money on parts that are meant for drag cars... first things first, look at a proper spring/shock combo (not "compressed shocks for that lowered look" as he said the previous owner claimed), switch out old dry rotted bushings, and also put a properly sized wheel/tire setup on the car.

 

Thanks man I think ima try and find a pair of 10 spokes to put on, the 19 inch tires are hella expensive anyways

 

All valid points^^ I was just speaking from experience...a lowered car will have neg. LCA angle (potentially increasing wheel hop for a 'clutch dumping, donut cutting OP). My car is lowered with LCA RB in lowest hole and it plants the **** out of the tires w/stock LCA's. I was merely suggesting a best-bang-for-the-buck for the OP to consider.

 

Your car probably has substantially more done to it based on just your signature, like a stall, nitrous, cam, etc. and I imagine needs the brackets to launch... but the OP should really consider going through his suspension and looking for worn out parts that need attention before looking at anything else. There's no point in buying fancy aftermarket control arms and brackets and installing them on a car with worn out suspension. A car from 2000 is 14 years old... and generally cars that old aren't in perfect condition. Hell my '02 was only 7 years old when I bought it with 48k miles and the shocks were already shot, the stock LCA bushings were worn out, as were the stock sway bar endlinks.

Although I would bet that the single biggest cause of wheel hop for the OP is that wheel and tire setup... heavy wheels plus low profile tires is not going to perform anything like stock.

 

LCA's, SFC's, better rear sway bar, and some MT Dr's...you should be good to go.
