[QUOTE="NetworkingGuru, post: 188260, member: 4948"] Guys, From what I have read and researched in my quest to eliminate my wheel hop, wheel hop is caused by traction, not lack thereof. Apparently, the tires grip, which causes the weight to shift, which causes a change in the geometry. This change causes a windup in the suspension, usually in the "rubber-band-like" stock bushings, which causes the tire to hop. I have read that this is MUCH more damaging to the suspension than any other kind of launch, due to the forces imposed by the IRS repeatedly being shocked into and out of traction. My first mods to combat this problem (unless someone informs me differently) will be to replace the bushings and add lowering springs. The lowering springs supposedly change the geometry allowing less wind up. We shall see.... [/QUOTE]
