The vehicle didn't have wheel hop, that was the tires slipping and trying to find traction due to 36psi being in them with a 4k clutch dump.

Do you have a video of someone getting wheel hop to compare? I'm not trying to be a dick, I've never seen a video for comparison and don't think it would be visibly obvious.

Isnt that one way to explain how wheel hop begins? Losing traction then catching traction....not to be a dick...but why would you ever have your front tires set at 36psi and do a launch??? Will you guys get some video footage of this setup at the track??? I'd really like to see that...to really show it'll elimate most if not all wheel hop! I think that would really cast aside any doubt that this setup works and that this a great product.

I'm with Edubs here, I dont think there was much hop there. If possible, a video from inside the cabin would be good (i will never forget what it sounded like the first time I hopped!)

You are correct. Of course when you lesson the tires contact patch you will reduce wheel hop. The wheel hop was not severe but it was still wheel hop. Lower the tire pressure and and make another vid and let us see what it does then, I am curious.

Yeah...the wheel hop was very very minimal.....but he said that wasnt wheel hop....maybe I'm hearing things....but sounded like it to me. But redo of that video is needed with the correct tire pressure, I never have my tires higher than 32. Like I also said, a video of this at the track would be nice....along with a cabin one too.

Thanks....the more the better... I've got no problem spending the money if they work well. But I wont spend that much money if they dont deliver what is promised. I'd also like to see a video of this setup on an ss/sc thats closer to stock form.

Ok, that's kind of what I thought at first, but was just going off of what everyone else was saying. I've only experienced it from inside, never from outside the vehicle.

You will have to wait for customers to post up there video's as I don't have any test cars.

don't worry about the mounts... they are properly designed and I wouldn't be putting them on my car if they didn't work.

just to give you an idea why they aren't installed in my car yet.... it's been raining. and this
