Every once in awhile I will drop the clutch at like 3-4k just to have some fun and every time I do it, I get massive wheel hop. My question is, can this be taken care of by just adding some stiffer sway bars, or do I have to do stiffer springs all around? I imagine all g's have wheel hop and I know someone knows how to get rid of it. Help me out here please.

There really isn't a way to get rid of the wheel hop without adjusting the geometry back there pretty extensively. If you want to have more fun without wheel hop, just drop the clutch from 6K rpm's. That way the tires are spinning so fast they don't get a chance to hook up and hop, but you also don't move much at all. That is what I do at the drag strip to keep the wheels from hopping during my burnout.

Could you increase the wheel rate(stiffer springs, shorter control arms), decrease shock rebound and increase shock compression?

edit: had stuff backwards.

i get wheelhop thru 5K in 1st gear, without dumping the clutch....

I was getting that a lot while I was at the track....you can fix a lot of it by letting about 5 lbs of air out of the rear tires. Hope this helps.

I hope lowering the tire pressure will help because through all my runs at the track this past weekend, I had nothing but problems w/ my runs due to the wheel hop. My times were also horrible because of this problem.
