Wheel Hop
I installed BMR Lowering Springs, Cradle Bushings, Toe Rods and Trailing Arms in my 2010 ls3.
I have not done a wheel alignment yet. I am installing new wheels/rubber this week and will align at that time. I was hoping to see an improvement in wheel hop with a test drive today. That was not the case. It actually seems worse. :noidea: Any thoughts? Thanks |
Its probably because you haven't gotten an alignment yet.

Adm has some really high quality rear upper control arm bushings. They are some high dollar carbon composite material. They will keep your upper arm straight helping with wheel hop. They also have some New billet subframe bushings available. I saw them in a thread called "sub frame bushings in south Florida. Maybe that is something to look at.

I am assuming you are on the stock tires if you are getting them swapped out soon and I can assure that they are not helping out one bit. |

The best cure for wheel hop is a huge swaybar and sticky tires. |
Alignment is mission critical to the 5th Gen IRS operation bone stock or with aftermarket parts.
Get your car in for alignment a.s.a.p. Front Front Camber -1.00 Toe 0.00 Rear Camber -0.50 Toe IN 0.10 Total Toe IN 0.20 |
Bushings arrived today and alignment is scheduled.
Thanks everyone! |
I feel for ya bro. I just received my BMR trailing arms and bushings for an install tomorrow, hoping to counter the considerable wheel hop I get at the track post-cam install. I'll make sure to get my car aligned as well and will give feedback on the results to add to our knowledge base. The guys at BMR know their stuff, and did advise me that on an M6 it may take several additional components to minimize the hop.

Those specs are what they call "Aggressive Street". It's what you want.
Edit, they are also within stock spec range. |
