NYthurobreds1320's latest status update: ready to do some john force burnouts
Default need help..wheel hop

alright guys ive got some bad wheel hop and im wondering the best way to fix it. right now ive got double adjustable lowers from upr, eibach drag springs, bfg drag radials and strange 10way adjustable shocks. i ran stock uppers in my hatch and didnt have a problem. now in my notch the wheel hop is bad. i put a pinion snubber on the car and it helped a lot but didnt cure it all. i know the bushings are shot on my uppers...what should i updrage them too? i was looking at these uppers

or maybe just better bushing and some traction bars? would there be a better way to reduce wheel hop?

anti roll bar..... Buy a good one, that upr stuff has failed before for people. Most of uprs stuff is a copy of david Wolfe's design. You can find a link in my sig! Best of luck!

The wheel hop is because of your upper bushings. My car has UPR uppers and it hooks just fine. I agree that they may pirate ideas but their suspension stuff works great!
Wolfe and TeamZ both make great stuff too!!
