This Wheel hop thing is really throwing a red flag. Is it really that bad. Is it all the time? I just ordered my 15 PP, should I cancel the order and wait a year or two until they fix the issue? It sounds like there's no real fix? I don't mind changing out stock parts for performance parts but I don't wanna buy a brand new car and have to fix a problem that shouldn't be there or as bad as this 1.I don't wanna have to replace my whole rear end on a brand new car. What do u guys think? Thanks

I think you're over reacting. And 99% of the time you won't even launch hard enough to experience this, whether it be from the weather conditions or living on garbage roads. Second of all, this car is meant to be a performance daily driver with track capabilities, they have to maintain a balance for the person who is driving their kid to school everyday or someone who just wants a cruiser, that being said, a lot of cars have this "problem". I think you shouldn't cancel out an order for such an overall good car for a problem that you won't notice very often. BMR will have their kits available for reasonable prices.

Eliminating wheel hop completely would very likely make the car ride like crap. There's give in the suspension for a reason. That being said, you'll find complaints about wheel hop for every rear drive sports car. 911s and M3s have wheel hop.

I only notice it occasionally, to be honest. Most of the time mine just dead hooks and goes. Of course the Pirellis like warm temps.

Doesn't mean I won't be looking at both FRPP and BMR offerings when they finally come out...
