To much wheel hop, how to correct problem!!!
Okay, I know for a fact that I need shocks and struts. My rears are shot and I'm almost pretty positive that my front struts are also. When I was at the track my 4500 clutch dumps to heat up the tires caused A LOT of wheel hop. It was horrible, I couldn't go over 2000 w/o it wheel hoping. It was horrible. I need to correct this problem fast. Please help, THX.

I replaced my stock rear control arms with a set of lakewoods. They are much stronger which I believe elimintates twisting. They also have polyurethane bushings instead of rubber. They have made an incredible differance not only when launching in a straight line but also when throwing a 180.
The rear end handling is much improved overall.

I also have Lakewood LCA's and their adjustable track bar on my car. Combined with a new set of KYB Gas-a-just shocks they eliminated wheel hop and tire rub on hard cornering.
