Wheel Hop

[Justin Bernstein]

Yo,
My shocks are pretty shot...and coils are def in my future. I just installed Greddy front and rear strut bars.

Question: what are other suspension remedies for limiting wheel hop when im red-lining and spinning the wheels/small drifts around closed-track corners.

Thanks in advance for any info you may be able to provide.

the only thing you need is stiffer springs and decent damping ~ some top end coilovers (my Tanabe Sevens, Zeals, a few others) have 'helper springs' specifically to combat wheel hop, but to be honest, the recipe for drift suspension is stiff springs/dampers.

that and rear subframe collars/spacers...

[Justin Bernstein]

swayray - do you recommend any particular brands?

get the collars... they are easier to install...

[GSXRJJordan]

^^^ oooh good one, yeah the stock subframe collars are crap, and most are completely disintegrated anyway... nice catch ray ~

[swayray]

thanks bro! :)

There arent stock subframe collars.

Subframe collars made a noticeable difference for me, as far as wheelhop goes. They are a good investment.

Thanks guys...will be searching the net for them 2night.

hahahah 1Via, I just assumed there was supposed to be something in there from the factory... isn't there some sort of bushing? I'll have to check my FSM later.

Yeah, they have a big rubber subframe bushing. The collars fit on the top and bottom of it and help contain squishyness and stuff that makes for annoying wheelhop.

Ive got peak performance ones and i love them!
I noticed a difference, even after i already had coilovers!
Extremely good investment!

uh this is a super obvious thing, but just to make sure you have lsd right?

[Justin Bernstein]

yea...i have lsd...but i also know that my shocks are shit.
I nearly snapped my brothers neck doing a small drift when i tried to transverse the opposite way.
