Default wheel hop?

i've got a quaife LSD in my LS tranny, omni coilovers, and stock mounts, but my wheels right now are 18's (long story, i kno they're not the best choice), but is wheel hop going to be a problem or no?

what about with a traction bar?

Traction bars will help ALLOT with wheel hop but those stiff sidewalls will not.

Motors mounts help a lot also. I am on a 17in drag radial and hop was bad until i installed some stiffer mounts.

stiffer mounts, traction bars, and stickier tires will help the problem
