Re: help with rear wheel hop on take off Stiffer springs couldn't hurt, either. I think springs on V6 cars are lighter than a V8 chassis. Some racers use the V6 front springs to get the weight to transfer better because they are lighter. Just a thought.

Re: help with rear wheel hop on take off What tire pressures are you running?Try lowering your tire pressures before you start moding the rear suspension.Overinflated tire will cause wheel hop and it cost nothing to lower your pressure.
