Wheel Hop

[WildHorse]

Not a big fan right now

All that aftermarket suspension components and you still have hop? Good thing I didn't go steeda/bmr. Not a slight on you, just generally speaking.

I feel it lol I was beyond annoyed when it still hopped, between the wheel hop and other small issues I’ve had with the car. It’s made me wish I would have just gone with a hellcat instead

Haha don't kid yourself.. Hellcats have plenty of wheel hop too. It's the tires. Like I said early, as soon as I went bias ply all the hop issues were gone. But I ain't running hellcat horsepower haha.

We have a lot of great reviews on the Steeda Ultimate Stop the Hop Kit - one four (4) star that's a result of wheel hop in cold weather:

You can take the walking approach, start with the starter kit & slowly add until your wheel hop is greatly reduced.

There are many reviews on the subject - & the same kit above is the same kit we install on our Steeda Performance Vehicles that are pushing 800 hp ... along with our Steeda Silver Bullet, here is what BIlly Johnson had to say about the package:

Take a look at this video showing what's taking place under the vehicle:

Last week I installed Steeda subframe braces, IRS bushing kit, subframe alignment kit, red diff. bushings, strut tower brace and g-trac brace. The car feels like a completely different car! My wheel hop, though it is still present, is nearly completely gone! It’s very mild compared to what it was. I’m excited to finish of the suspension with Steeda to see how much further the car will improve.

All my Steeda and BMR parts I installed performed as expected. Car handles great. I still have hop though like many others. It takes more than just a couple parts. To comment on Bias ply tires fixing the problem, I have to say it would probably make my car handle like poo.

Well this thread is a bit disappointing. lol I've had people tell me taming the IRS is as simple as a tire... or cradle lock out. Opinions are all over the place and it seems results are different for everyone. Ugh. I'm NEVER one of the fortunate ones. If money can be spent to end up with poor results... I'm your guy. :?

What did you end up going with - Tires & the cradle lock out kit?

If you are asking me... I'm still 100% stock on the PP1 platform. I didn't have any traction issues until I switched to a PBD tune and it really woke up the car. My struggle is I'm not just looking for straight line and bigger sidewall tire. I bought the car to auto-x. So a street radial will be a common thing for me. Here's the wheel hop. It's not always just in 1st gear.
