Doug,
I'm really, really tired of mine hopping like mad and am done with spending money until a real fix comes along.
Yours appears to be it.

How do I get on the list?

Just call the shop?

 

[badboy]

Hay Doug, I sent you some money - I hope that works! I just ordered the Strange shocks so I hope to get your kit about the same time. Thanks.

 

[shadowcoupe]

looks like it might be the fix....

 

[shadowcoupe]

I have just finished installing this mod and in 28 degree weather all the car did was squat and spin, but NO HOP. Thanks for the awesome product Doug :beer: I'll post some more results once it's warms up around here.

What setting did you use on the shocks?

Great news.

I am also curious as to what setting you used?


Thanks.

I set the shocks on the number 10 setting for the best results and it seemed to ride very well so I'll see how it handles :rockon:

If you have time it would be interesting to know at what point the hop comes back if you back down the shocks.

So how exactally do these shocks work? When you set them to 10, is it almost like have a solid, or is it like having a poll from the shock tower to the hub?? I just don't get how they work..

basically the higher the setting the stiffer the shocks will be. car wont squat as much during a launch thus not giving the ability for wheel hop to start because of the stiffness of the shock.
also the higher the setting the worse the ride quality is going to be. i think the comparision to the blistien shocks is at about setting 4-5 (i think).

i do not have the shocks on my car yet, i am jus going by my knowledge and from what i have read on these forums, hope this helps

 

[dougwg]

I don't have time to write a book on the subject

set to 10 less or no wheelhop
set lower(3-5) feels like the stock ride

Doug, when are these gonna make it onto the site?
