i got stock shocks w/ coilover sleeves and i get a ton of wheel hop....im spinning for at least a half sec. so my question is, does crappy ebay coilover sleeves affect 1/4 mile times? say if i got a kyb agx w/ tein s.tech or koni yellow shocks etc....would i be getting less wheel hop and better 1/4 mile times?

 

wheel hop has more to do with control arms and bushings i think. the springs and shocks will help a little, but i still get wheel hop with my coilovers.

 

control arms and bushings?
hmmmm.....
who makes those?
is it possible to have NO wheel spin at all if i get the control arms and bushings?

 

You need after market motor mounts, along with after-market shocks.

 

i have the ES motor mounts....but they are not installed yet
so the shocks will help the 1/4 mile right?

 

Ebay "coilover" sleeves are garbage. A real shock and spring combo or full race coilovers will DEFINATELY improve handling and reduce wheel hop.

 

i have absolutely no wheel hop now that i installed the teins.

ES motor mounts help alot as well.

 

Yeah, coilovers help a lot!

My old 240sx used to bounce and the launch was really rought, but after my Section 8 aka SILKROAD coilovers... no more wheel hop, not to mention barely any understeer.

 

i bought the ebay coilovers also with stock shocks and i have no wheel hope at all....maybe somebosy needs to learn to drive??
