EMWHYR0HEN Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I would make sure your rear suspension bushings are in good shape, along with your struts. lowering your tire pressure might also help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slammed68 Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I got terrrrrrrible wheel hop while doing a burnout at the track.. My struts were blown and the stock springs were wayyy too soft. Try upgrading your suspension. I just went with the AZC coilover conversion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stangracr Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 What did it cost to do the coilover conversion and where did you purchase it? Its hard to find used parts for these cars. ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillZ260 Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 I have pretty bad wheel hop too. I totally rebuilt my rear suspension when I did the build. I am wondering if the pinion angle changes a bunch under hard throttle. I replaced the diff mount with a new stock replacment. What do you all think?
