Got Wheel Hop ?

[Robert1994]

Drop the clutch and my new Pilots hop as much as the Dunlops I took off.
Is this common ?
What's the fix, more air ?

As far as I am aware, they all hop. I wonder if a firmer shock setting wouldn't offset the condition? I have an ACR with Koni adjustable shocks.

Tire pressure also plays a factor. Think NASCAR, where a pound or two more/less pressure is used to fine tune the spring rate. And yes, shock setting - I have increased rebound on my '94, which helped. But with an independent rear, I don't think it'll ever go away.

I did get less wheelhop when I adjusted the Koni's to the recommended levels from this site. They were on softest settings when I first went to the track. I have not gone to the highest settings yet.

what settings are you using on your acr?

Every customer who switched to one of our spring packages [$299 - $349 ] has said that wheel hop was virtually eliminated. Shock adjustmant or revalving will help as well.

When the tires are cold and you try to launch, the tires hop. Drive a bit first to heat them up and then do launches, you'll see that they won't hop.
