I am still having wheel hop

I have put on relo brackets, lca's, torque arm control, wider tires, 17" rims, adjusted the pinion angle -2deg., and am still experiencing wheel hop. Would ladder bars help, or do the lca's do the same thing? I also was told that my car is not fit for traction bars so I don't think that is an option. Please help.

Re: I am still having wheel hop

With all the money I have spent I just made myself a very expensive pos. Someone help. What about a prothane tranny mount?

Might want to double check the pinion angle setting...common item to get wrong. The driveshaft and rear should form a "V".

Re: I am still having wheel hop

What tires are you running and where are you getting your wheel hop (at the track?)

Re: I am still having wheel hop

I am running F1's, and I get the hop on just about every launch, or when going from low RPM's in 2nd to WOT. As far as the pinion angle, it WAS measured at -2 deg. I am now told that that can change very easily and should be checked periodically.
