ok i have almost everything you need to get rid of wheel hop or at least reduce it.

i have the nylon bushing kit and m2 traling arms and toe links and just installed a mazdaspeed ppf thinking that was the problem.

wel it hasnt fixed it. i'm thinking motor mounts is the onle thing left that could be the reason for the wheel hop. any ideas.



i had no wheel hop for a month then blew my clutch and had the clutch changed and now i have wheel hop. so thats why i changed the ppf. i cant understand why changing the clutch would make me have wheel hop. '


thanks

 

Changing to a new clutch means more grab and more power to the wheels. What kind and size tires are you running?

 

I feel you man. I think the quest for complete wheel hop elimination is near impossible in this car without changing bigger parts. We put a set of M2 trailing arms on my friend's FD and I decided they're not worth it if they're just going to transmit more noise into the chassis. I'm assuming the best way to get rid of it is to put some bigger wheels on the car and change your suspension. The stock wheels only weigh 15lbs or something, so that's probably the reason they hop so easily when the tires bite. More mass in the wheel should provide some inertial resistance to upward acceleration when the tires bite.

 

i put in an act street strip which was the same clutch i had in before, but i took out my 9.5 lb flywheel. and i did put my stock wheels on because of the weather here latley.

 

why would you take out the flywheel???

it was worn and i didnt want the extra down time waiting for the friction insert to come in.

 

i had a severe case of wheel hop a while ago....i was riding on the stock springs w/ 94k miles on them....replaced them w/ an eibach prokit and it solved it. Just one of the many things u might want to look @
