when i accelerate hard through a turn, my front 2 tires would wheel hop. I know that fwd cars would tend to do this. Any ideas on how to reduce this effect?

Setup:
Azenis 205-50-15
Tein HA
ITR rear sway bar

 

I think the most important thing would be to go easier on the throttle. As you said, FWD cars like to do things like that so it's something you have to learn to live with.

 

If your dampers are adjustable, try firming them a bit on rebound. Wheel hop can be caused by a number of things and underdamped springing is one of the major ones. Even if that is not the actual cause, adding rebound might resist the hop tendency.

Have someone watch the car when this is happening and try to see what the actual motion is. Is it a vertical hop up and down or more a fore and aft motion? Both could feel the same from the inside but be evidence of different issues. Something could be worn or loose and letting the motion start then get out of hand.

Obviously smoother throttle application can be helpful but if there is a mechanical issue that is limiting putting the power down, it would be good to know.

 

Check out your engine & torque mount bushings. I added the ES mounts & that helped. The problem that I had was actually on hard launches.

I still had some hopping issues thru the corners. It was more noticeable on corner exit. My shocks were under-damped. Getting some revalved Koni's took care of the problem!

 

LSD can help this.
If you have rebound adjustable shocks, then stiff rebound up front and softer rebound in the rear..... and I mean really stiff rebound in front, like if you were to push the front of your car down with your hands it should take like 2 or 3 seconds to rase back up. If you can give this a try.

 

Z10 radius rods are supposed to help with this, but I have no personal experience with them to back that up. That is assuming that they actually do something, not like EM Racing bars

Just something to check out I guess.

 

ES radius rod bushings and motor mount bushings helped reduce wheel hop a lot in my 90 CRX. It's still not completely gone, but it was a huge and noticeable improvement (auto-x only).
