View Full Version : More Wheelhop with Sub-spacers?!

Well I just got my Greg Dupree subframe spacers. Put them in. Took a test drive. Stoped and launched it hard and got wheelhop. I didn't have that much before but now I can feel it...

I think my dampers maybe worn and I know the other bushings out back are all old and need replaced.

Any thoughts?

I was thinking it might be that. Also, I have some really heavy subwoofers in my trunk. I think I might try and take those out and try it again.

BOOOOOOO. Stop telling me the dampers are blown and give me something cheaper to fix. :rofl:

I probably won't buy any coilovers until I get out of boot camp so I'll just deal with it hopping. :wtc:

if u dont want it to hop.. dont drop the clutch at such a high rpm. try maybe 4000rpm and as soon as the tires spin bring the revs up.... it works a lot better than just dropping it at 6k

^ a lot less wheel hop that way

or don't fucking spin the tires at all, don't drive fast at all? blown suspension lessens driver control.

you sir, are a homo.

where the fuck did that come from? you cant handle the simple truth that blown suspension really can affect handling performance? i.e. this dumbass wheel-hop situation is a result of bad shocks. i hope you wheelhop off the face of a cliff you fag.

Time for Coilovers.(which you should have done first)

Actually I haven't replaced them with coilovers because I wanted the rest of my suspension to be up to snuff. ;)

Oh yeah. And one of my tires keeps losing pressure. LOL. It gets down to like 20 psi sometimes. I check it everyday now. I probably should find the leak and fix it.
