Default Wheel hop

I have Subframe connectors, adj. pan hard, bmr springs, bilstien hd shocks and C5's with 275 Daytonas. They are semi sticky and under any burnout or hard acceleration I get massive wheel hop.


Lower control arms maybe?

I would get some LCA relocation brackets first. They are cheaper then experimenting with tires. If not cure it will help a lot.

I would say the LCAs also. Wheelhop seemed to go away for me with them. But haven't seen anything since I got my adjustable torque arm.
But seeing that your lowered means you need LCA relocation brackets for sure like mentioned above. That should help clear up a little of wheel hop.

I would do a set of BMR lower control and BMR lower control arm relocation brackets. These two thing should clear up any wheel hop you have. If you decide you need any suspension parts give me a call and I will work up a deal for you.

Wheel hop can easily wreck a rear end. I look forward to being able to help you out.

most likely you LCA's.. if there the originals i would get some umi or bmr's and some relocation brackets.. if your on a budget just replace the stock bushings (stock ones are crap and are not even a solid bushing) in the LCA's.. even on street tires you shouldn't have wheel hop, tires should just spin freely..
