New Pfadt stuff coming!

This wheel hop is killing me! Got Pfadt trailing arms yesterday and I also have the Pfadt subframe bushings coming next week. Do you all think this will solve the problem? Will bushings help at all with handling? Thanks.

Each car responds a little bit differently when it comes to wheel hop. Those may cure it but there are still some culprits that may need to be taken care of. At a minimum it will definitely be a lot better. You will also notice that the car will be much more composed when braking or accelerating aggressively, more stable when corning, and have more grip.

Tire compound and air pressure has a lot to do with wheel hop when you start adding stiffer suspension components. It will take some experimentation
