HOW DO I GET RID OF WHEEL HOP? I REALY CANT STAND IT ANYMORE, I WANT MY WHEELS TO SPIN NOT HOP. I PROBABLY LEAVE A TRAIL OF PATCHES OFF THE LINE WTF?

 

I've seen some rear wheel toe adjustment bars with solid joints instead of the rubber ones in there stock. they said it gets rid of the hop. I'll look for them again and post back. (It may be racing beat)

 

THATS WHAT I THOUGHT IT WAS SO I BOUGHT M2 TOE LINKS AND GOT AN ALIGNMENT AND IT STILL HAPPENS. MY FRIEND SAID I HAVE TO GET DRAG SPRINGS BUT I DONT THINK HE KNOWS WHAT HES TALKING ABOUT MAYBE STRUTS BUT NOT SRINGS.

 

I've got tokico 5 ways with ground control springs.(on there when i bought it, the springs) Kazz limited slip and 265/35/18 i get bad wheel hop as well and it starts shaking the inside of the car. anyone have hks drag set-up on theirs? does it help?

 

I GET THE SAME THING, I REALY HATE IT I FEEL LIKE MY CAR IS A HOOPTY.

 

i had to replace the PPF as well it snapped right in front of the diff mount. check that out to save you digging it into the ground. mazdaspeed PPF is great!! next is the engine tourqe brace.(can't do good burnouts, but can do bitchin doughnuts!!)

 

Please turn off your caps key.

Wheel hop is a problem with these cars but can be avoided by not doing drop-clutch launches. You need to slip the clutch a little bit during a hard launch to prevent wheel hop. You can also launch at a bit higher rpm to get a little more wheelspin.

It's very important that you do not continue to experience wheel hop as it is VERY bad on the driveline and you WILL break something.

 

i have a few differential braces that REALY make a big diference in hop, and will help you to not snap your PPF and/or rear...

 

do you make them?

how much will it really help to not break stuff? what rwhp are you running and what hasnt broken and how hard have you launched etc.

 

The best way to get rid of wheel hop is to buy the competition trailing arms and toe links from M2. Pettit also sells them. They will run you about $450 and are worth every penny. Not only will it help eliminate wheel hop, but it will also help your 60' times at the track. If you still get wheel hop, (you shouldn't) your suspension is setup to hard.

 

ernie, not to disagree with you pal... but i disagree. those arms are not going to hold your diff in place from pulling up, nor are they going to help when your driver side motor mount gives/lets go... this thing WILL. when used with an ETB or and/or a trany brace... good luck trying to brake your diff.
any other info you can email me rxrotary2_7@yahoo.com ernie, you can call.

 

WELLLLL, EXCUUUUUUSSEEEE MEEEEEE!! I forgot, it wasn't ME, that runs 10's, its YOU.....
Naa, in all seriousness, I had the kaaz, M2 toe links and trailing arms, Tokico 5ways, Eibiach's (spelling?) and thats it. I cut 1.50 60' s all day long without any wheel hop.

 

replace your rear shocks, they must be absolutely gone

 

i have to say my solid tranny brace helped..........haven't broken a diff yet but i also bought a tranny brace and subframe braces........... rxrotary is right a diff brace is VERY important

 

Trailing arms will help tremendously. Check out my signature for a great deal on upgraded trailing arms.

 

i forgot. i have the pettit trailing arms and toe links. they help but didn't totally eliminate the hop

 

This is the fastest,easiest, and cheapest way I know to cure wheel hop. Buy or fab an engine torque brace. Really reduces drivetrain twisting. Also lower your tire pressure. This way the tires themselves will absorb some of the stock. Thats what I've done and there's absolutly no wheel hop with the stock 16" tires. All my mods are below.
