Major Wheel-hop

[CPAutobahn]

I recently installed the suspension package with the tokico struts, eibach springs, and the suspension techniques sway bars. I love the way car handles in the twisties (compared to stock) but I'm getting some rediculous wheel-hop!

My question is... is this normal, and is there a way to reduce this?

What are the condition of the bushings in the back? The control arm bushings and the subframe bushings? If they're in bad condition, they should be replaced and that should help with wheel hop.

i get wheel hop with this setup, the tokicos and eibachs. i have stock bushings in the back, and i know some are bad. i get more wheel hop in the rain then i do in the dry??? (probably cause its easier to spin the tire) also, i get more with the tires i have on now compared to before.

I just installed my tein HA's and I am having what sounds like wheel hop issues as well....you can only hear it in the front and it sounds like I am driving over railroad tracks on even pavement....i haven't adjusted them yet and the bushings look like they are in ok shape. I am lost....

Black87turbo, I don't think what you're experiencing is wheel hop. Wheel hop is when the back wheels hop under power usually when they have a high slip ratio.

It sounds like what you're talking about is force transmissibility from the road to the chassis due to too stiff compression damping.
