Rear Axle Hop

Anyone know how to stop the rear axle hop when racing/driving hard? Or if you know of someone selling a product. Shoot me an e-mail Raskass70@hotmail.com

IF you are drag racing drop the psi to 18... and you should be in business, other than that i don't know of any other instances where you would get axle hop unless you launched the car. I think places like rx7.com sell bushings which help to eliminate the problem..

I have done everything under the sun trying to eliminate the wheel hop. I have had unobotanium rear bushing kit and diff mounts, M2 toe links and trailing links and drag radials with lowered PSI. It still hopped. It was worse with the dragradials due to the sticking. I never got to try the Kazz diff. I think that would have fixed it. The stock diff causes wheel hop by transfering power back and forth to the spinning wheel. The Kazz has better control and positive lock of the rear wheels reducing this. Anyone with experience?
