Just boosted my del sol. Any way when i break loose in the high rpms, i get real bad wheel hop. Ive seen the front load bars that you can buy, just woundering if that will correct this problem?

 

first question is what tires u running?

low profile? if so theres ur answer.....usually the lowpros have such a thick sidewall it always will bounce even if u have freakin tein all around...

Yes traction bars really do help, a lot. The full race and jimfab ones are great. I still have the old z10 bars, but I feel no need to upgrade, I have no wheel hop, now I just have wheel spin. One other thing you can do is install a urethane rear motor mount.

i have upgraded motor mounts.

 

I got rid of mine by stiffening up the rear suspension.

 

what tires u running ?

 

Got mine out by getting 5 way adjustable struts and putting them on 5...No more wheel hop..

- soften ur front suspension how soft? too broad of a statement
-stiffen ur rear suspension adding heavier weight rating springs, will help
-change tires to something soft if ure using low profile

i actually made my front suspension stiffer, and it still hopped but not as much as before.

running full race, and i still get wheel hop! i'll need some track time, to come to a solution for the wheel hop! is anyone using limiting straps? can you guys chime in! btw my comments are about, street tires BFG drag radials in particular!

 

I put the front springs in the rear with loads of bumpstops and around 40 psi on the rear tires.

why not just get a set of 900+ lbs springs, and put them in the rear. i thought of doing the bummp stop thing, but i figured that having a damp adjustable shock with high LBS springs in the rear would work best!

 

Of course it would! But $3 worth of bumpstops vs $1500 teins, well..

no one else has anything to say on this
