I'm curious to see how well your upgraded suspension parts work on the wheel hop jman. Mine hops pretty bad too if I spin. I'd like to do springs, but I already come close to rubbing in a few places on my daily routine. I don't want to sacrifice my front end.

Yeah, I tried to race Ject off of a stop light and my rearend shook and rattled soo bad that I decided then and there that this had to change.

That has happened to me a couple times too. I just cringe when the rear end bounces like that. It's not as bad with these new tires for some reason. They're just cheap-o Hankook RH-06. I have been very impressed by them in warm/dry weather, but the improvement on cold pavement is a lifesaver. Really good in the rain so far too... although I haven't really pushed them very hard.

Lounge to help desk. A story worthy of a shirt.

Yeah, I think I have cheapest and hardest replacement tires I could have found on my rears.

Believe it or not, they probably help keep you from snapping axles. Imagine sticky tires in the mix with the a shaking rearend.

litle88 · 11-20-2013, 06:18 PM

Yes we do!!

litle88 · 11-20-2013, 06:19 PM

Most of the L99 guys.

Wheel hop isn't a big issue for the A6.

I still have my factory axles, not enough power to break then yet! But the rest of my suspension is all upgraded.

grocerygetter · 11-20-2013, 09:15 PM

I cut a 1.49 60' today on stock axles. How short we think this fuse is? Lol

Muddflap · 11-20-2013, 09:22 PM

The only time I really notice wheel hop is if I'm on the throttle and just completely dump my clutch.
