What next? Okay, I have a pretty severe wheel hop problem. Until last night my suspension was all original equipment at 58k miles. Last night, however, I bought some G2 rod/poly LCAs and installed them, but the wheel hop remains.
I'm not sure if the hop has changed much. I usually only get hop when I slam second on the street. On the track, however, I get hop absolutely non-freaking-stop. We'll see if that's changed any when I hit the track tonight.
Here is a list of other things that I've heard aid in the pursuit of a planted rear end and my thoughts on them:
- Torque Arm... possibility, but I'd have to get one that would fit a Moser 12-bolt, as I'm sure I have one in my future
- LCA Relocation Brackets... definitely might get these since I plan on lowering the car eventually anyway, at which point they will be absolutely necessary
- Shocks... this is most likely my next step as I'm at 58k on the stock decarbons
- Better Rubber... likely something high on the list to try as I hate my street tires and it's not a daily driver, so drag radials would be nice
- Poly Transmission Mount... This one doesn't make a great deal of sense to me, so it'll be low on the list to try
- Panhard Bar... I don't hear this one often, and I believe that's because it doesn't help. The panhard rod doesn't appear as though it would have any effect on wheel hop to me. Though, I will be getting one when I lower the car.
What do you guys think?
