i know that there was a thread (actually on the front page) that mentions killing wheel hop but that is for a S/Cer... i was wondering if the same products used for the more powerful car would kill wheel hop for us 2.4 guys.

would a single product kill wheel hop or would i have to make a combination of products to slaughter the screeching

 

This is what I am doing.

Traction bars - off ebay.
jbp poly control arm bushings.
JBP strut bar brace.

Guarantee no wheel hop. it is caused by control are deflection. you can feel it when braking too. the wheel will jiggle under braking like as if the rotors are warped but you will find that it does not give a brake pedal pulsation. rotors are find it is the control arm deflection again. the traction bars alone will remedy it but the bushings are said to remove most of it as well. I figure do both with the tower brace from JBP as well will secure things very well.

hope that helps. there are other ways but this is making the car handle better overall. A better way IMO.

 

I had bad wheelhop once---it made me mad

Then I checked my tire pressure---40psi! I must have pumped that up for a highway jaunt and forgot about it.

At the track I drop it to 25psi. Unless I am launching at unresonably high rpm----which will just result in too much spin, kinng the 60ft time---It is fine.

Even with 35psi, on the street it okay---unless I want to spin excessively.

 

Torque Braces...

 

theres a bunch of way to deal with wheel hop, it all comes down to holding everything in place better... you could do this cheap:

poly control arm bushings $80-ish
poly engine mount $150-ish

do that and all you have to worry about is tire spin..

 

Your launching to high or not holding your rpms and just gunning it. Ease out at 1800rpm. Try it and you see it launches like a **** everytime. Havent had any wheelhop with this yet (with bald rossos hehe)

 

Personally with the SS/2.4 I have had perfect launches at about 3500-4000 RPM's with 2 people in the car including me. It gets 1 second of spin, no hopping and you fly forward like a rocket. I would like to know what is the perfect RPM for 1 person in the car with those attributes of some spin, no hop.

 

buy a rwd car..

 

...Started to read this and was like 25psi!! then i noticed he was a 2.4 and doesnt have 18's
