I have the Woodhouse red mounts, motons, PS2's and I cannot remember the last time I experianced wheel hop. I drive very hard.
Care to list these $$$ mods? I saved a few $$$ after the car was bought for stuff like this.
YEAH!! lots of independents, BUT they have 1 lower control arm or Radius bar that is rigid and an upper strut. Viper has upper and lower A arms and Rubber bushings upper and lower. Need to get them rigid from twisting action. Need to get the lower from moving and twisting.There are plenty of independant rear suspension cars out there that do not have hop issues. The problem can be greatly reduced with a few mods if not eliminated. Granted they are pretty pricey solutions but they will improve the Viper in alot of other areas also at the same time.
Nothing,,,,,,lol I was just hopeing that It would just go away.....
I have been watching wheel-hop threads for the past 3 years and still sounds like the best way is to switch out to motons and that is not completely 100%.
So yes i'm the type that ******* about the President and doesn't vote....lol J/K

\For what its worth, I had a lot of wheel hop until I adjusted my shocks. It turns out the Koni's were each set at a different setting from the factory. The settings ranged from 0 - 6 half-turns. Tator advised to me set them at 2.5 and most of the hop is gone.
Most of the harder bushings will ause other problems such as noise and or control arm "bind" which s not a good thing for handling.
Off track a bit but what is the rear of the Vette set up as? I thought it had A arms also? Never see or hear abot hop in them.

THE YEAR MATTERS, Tony.... what works on a Gen 2 or Gen 1 does not apply on Gen 3, this discussion board.
Why dont you actually try changing something, then you wont have to post threads complaining. The easiest switch is PS2 tires. Next step is Motons. Why do you think they are putting PS2's on the 08's. Its a better tire.
ummmmm. You've talked me into it![]()
maybe you should read my run crap thread and that will answer why i didn't go with the PS2. But I do believe you.
When I took my Runflats off, I found a staple in one, but didnt go thru, I wondered if it would have affected the PS2's. I also though about getting HRE's, which I may still do, and then keep stockers with run flats for trips.
Then I thought, the chance of a nail is slim. Its not worth worrying and running on crappy tires. Ditch the runflats and get PS2's, carry some type of tire sealant if you go on a trip and maybe carry a AAA memebership tow card. And then sit back and enjoy the nice ride and handling.![]()

This is the answer to the wheel hop let me see $3500 for the Quaife $1800 for the ps2 and $3k for the motons. I wonder why dodge didn't get it right the first time. Add $8300.00 to the cost of the car just to keep it on the ground.Motons, PS2's, and a Quaife will virtually eliminate the hop.
Tires should match I thought about it but, I replaced all four.Has anyone just replaced the rear tire? Save some money and still have the protection of the run flats in the front

The wheel hop & fishtailing with runflats on my Viper was very very bad. Went to Pierelli 18" & 19" -this helped but still some wheel hop with a lot of spinning & some fish tailing. Went with Motons and it helped.
Then I had the DLM SC install with the 3.55 gear and light weight fly wheel so something more had to be done. I went with the Hoosier A6 on the rear - no wheel hop ,a little spinning in first gear with no fishtailing in any gear. Viper just hooks up and goes straight as a arrow. Very little warm up is needed. Its amazing what these tires have done for my Viper.
