I have SEVERE wheelhop on nittos for some reason. I have every piece you could buy suspension wise. What settings do you normally set the hals on in the rear? Pinion angle is right, everything else is good. Every bolt seems to be torqued to spec. Also happens when I go to do a burnout with the nittos on. If i dont ease into the burnout, it wants to wheelhop like crazy....any ideas or tips appreciated...
Thanks
Thanks

On the rear suspension wise, do you have the lowered relocation brackets for lowered control arms which eliminates wheel hop. I ran Nitto's never had an issue like you are having. I run Hal's setting between 6-8 for street travel. I also have a heavy duty pan hard something whatever you call it. Have you examined your tires for any bad spots and are the wheels out of balance? Do you the right air pressure such as 24 to 26 PSI. Hopes this helps. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I have relocation brackets, lower control arms and a adj. panhard bar. I have the shocks at 7 I believe, tires have 200 miles on them, and they are perfectly balanced....Anything else it can be lol?

I was never able to launch with nittos without getting wheelhop. I try at all different air settings but still got it. I switched to et streets and haven't had it since. So it may just be something that occurs on some cars that run nittos.

Wish I could help, the only only thing I think of is somehow is the rear axle somehow not in alignment, but I don't understand how it could be out of alignment. Mayble adjust the adjustable panhard for centerness and see if this helps. Cheers!

I also do have the adjustable panhard. I will check the mount but highly doubt thats what is doing it. John, the car wasnt lowered, just looks like it...

I have the same problem only I have khumos. My car hops bad, and I have Relocation brackets, control arms and adj panhard bar. The sales guy at MTI told me to put an air bag on the right side. He also said SFC help.

Get an aftermarket torque arm or at least a torque arm bushing.
Also make sure that you don't have the LCA in the lowest hole. That is only for lowered cars. Make sure that the LCAs are almost level with the axle end slighly lower.

Did you slick it up?
I think you need a good set of slicks/skinnies and sell the ZR1's.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
