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?

Im not sure if wheel hop has anything to bo with the size/weight of your wheels. Filling your motor mounts with urethane or going ES will help, with your launch.

polyurethane suspension bushings will help a lot as well....but w/ your wheel/tire combo expect a rough ride

you are most likely going to experience wheel hop so mounts help and aswell as traction bars. I highly suggest you change your wheel and tire combination. I am not sure of your suspension setup if you already had it aligned or camber kit but you need a proper alignment with wheels as big as 18 for these cars otherwise yours tires will get eaten up.
