Wheel Hop!

[240SXer]

Hey everyone..

I've been getting really bad wheel hop when launching at the track. I don't as much on the street (different surface i guess). What would help reduce wheel hop? I've got whiteline subframe spacers, but what else would help? Would it not be as bad if I had an LSD? Would different spring help?

Thanks..

Would a "Engine torque Damper" help?

subframe spacers! search for past threads that we have discussed them in some detail!

I can't find anything that says they're bad.. That is what you were saying, right?

I've got some whiteline subframe spacers. I have them adjusted for drag. I'm still hopping pretty bad.

shocks blown!?

I didnt think so... They feel fine. Is there any other way to tell? Could that cause wheel hop?

I didn't see a rear sway bar in your S14 sig, do you have one of those fitted? Your '91 SE has one by default, all HICAS models came with a rear sway bar. They can help steady some of that hop (provided they aren't too thick).

im not sure about your specific problem, but if your shocks are bad, u can usually tell by compressing one by pushing on a corner of the car, then letting go and if it bounces more than 3 times then they are worn. other than that if it feels like your car is still bouncing after it has hit a bump in the road.

Were did you pick up the whiteline spacers?

I got the subframe spacers from PDM-Racing. The S14 SEs had front and rear sway bars stock. I don't think my shocks are bad, but would firmer shocks help? It's my 95 that's hopping.
