the dreaded wheel hop....
Hey everyone.... just wondering on the wheel hop thing. My FD hops pretty good during take off. Can replacement of bushings in the stock trailing arms fix the hop? I haven't had enough time in the car to sort out any rpm range to launch in(damn winter time), but I was thinking it could be a waste of time trying to make the stock stuff work. Might just have to go M2 TA/TL? I read in some threads and they say that Yokohama AVS1 tires seem to be a hopping type of tire, which I have. Spring time will bring me new tires for the car as well. Any suggestions on good tires to buy?
