Default spinning

I noticed that when the rear wheels are spinning at not too high rpm in 1st or 2nd gear on the wet, without traction control the rear suspension is bouncing and the spinning of the wheels is not smooth, it do not do it as much if you go at high rpm.

I've been told that it's because tha standard suspension are not too stiff, and it would not do that with stiffer ones.

Does your z do that too if you spin the wheels?

Be careful with wheel hop--that violent motion can break suspension parts. You'd better get off the pedal guick when you go into wheel hop. If you're good just tap the clutch to allow RPM's to increase -- then get back into it hard. Feather the throttle to control wheel spin.

Does anyone know of mod that will eliminate wheel hop?

Would just aftermarket springs avoid wheel hop?
