wheel hop

Just went to the track Saturday, and got great traction with my new ford 9" and spohn front coilovers. But I did notice a little wheel hop? I have hotchkis control arms, hotchkis rear sway bar, spohn adjustable torque arm adjusted to -3 degrees, KYB AGX rear shocks adjusted at ?, and spohn rear control arm relocation brackets set to the bottom hole, and ran my mickey drag radials at 20 psi. So what can I adjust to eliminate my little bit of wheel hop?

I also developed a sqeek in the right of the rear end when turning right, it sounds like a bushing or somthing rubbing, could it be caused by the spool ? I need to put the car back up on jack stands and check it out.

Re: wheel hop

with all those adjustable suspension components you may just need to find the right set up. may take a few runs to get it right.
