Wheel hop, how to fix?

[93gtpdohc]

when ever i try to lanch my car and my turbo spools up my GTP getts wheel hop so bad i have to let off, it started when i got new tires, my old goodyear's just wouldn;t hook up for the life of them, and with my new firestones i got it hooks up way better then before but i got wheel hop, any subjustions on how to fix it?

maybe a strut tower bar if you dont have one yet. wheel hop is usually from soft suspension, or flex that changes the suspension geometry. some good pro-thane bushings and stuff to stiffen up the towers or even the undercarige where the arms mount could help.

That, and get some new struts and Cv shafts if you haven't already. A strut tower brace though is only gonna really help you in the corners as it reduces body flex.

well my cv axles were all replaced when i did the 5 spd converion, i changed the front struts with ones off of a 95 regal with the larger rotors i think i'll start by try changeing the shock cartridge,

my friend eliminated alot of his wheel hop by getting rid of flex in the motor mounts. I'd try poly bushings in the motor/trans mounts and suspension components if available.

Stiffer shocks (KYB/Koni) and springs will help a lot, too.

Make DAMN sure your engine mounts are in good shape. While you're at it, consider replacing the soft rubber for harder urethane. Makes for a noisier ride.... But there's always a tradeoff.

Another one to consider is fabbing up an adjustable dog-bone mount and pre-loading the engine somewhat so you aren't rocking the motor as much when the power rolls on hard.
