How can I reduce my wheel hop? Sometimes going over bumps while at WOT the rear wheels just start hopping like crazy as the traction breaks. Launching the car creates the same mess. I have the Tein RA suspension. Would changing the ride height or stiffening/softening the adjustment help to reduce hop? Thanks.

 

Try getting some stiffer suspension bushings. Stiffen up the suspension should also help a bit.

 

Are you sure it is wheel hop, and not the Torsen diff doing its thing?

 

Ditto question, are you sure? I've done and watched plenty of smoking auto-x starts and the wheels do not hop noticably at launches.

 

wow never seen RWD with wheel hop, i've always seen it on FWD cars.

 

I remember reading a review that said the Porsche GT2 suffered from substantial wheel hop off the line.

 

ok thanks for clearing that up. its just that i've seen a RWD in person that has substantial wheel hop like some FWD's do. most of the RWD's just either take off immediatley or sit there smoking their tires.

 

Maybe your tire pressures are too low.

 

I would guess too high
