Default mad wheel hop after spring and shock install

i just installed my koni yellows and h&r race springs. i have crazy wheel hop in first gear. what happened? what do i need to do to fix this?

kind of obscure question, but yeah.

i forgot to screw in the shock collar bolt (the top one that keeps the shock collar clamped, not the bottom long one), so would that affect anything?


on a side note, how long does it take these springs to settle? i still have wheel gap dammit!

ahaha. i cant find the bolt. im glad it is a 14mm, because i have plenty of those lying around and that nut from the stock shock will work just fine.

huh, it's a 10mm bolt (10 x 1.25 i believe). it does not use a nut, the other side of the fork is threaded. I can't believe you drove it with no bolts!
