    Eliminating wheel hop?

    I get some nasty wheel hop if I try to launch it too hard. Right now everything is stock. Other than new struts and a slight drop what other suggestions do you have for controlling wheel hop?

    You need a LSD. All your power is going to one wheel when you launch. They're not cheap. The labor to put it in isn't cheap either.

    So no quick fix like a panhard bar for an axle? Bummer.

    Are you on stock wheel?
    Get some wide and sticky tires would really help.
    And stiffer suspension would help too, but not as much as tires.
