The rain, drizzle, anything to make the damn road slick. I hate it! I cant ******* stand slick roads, i cant drive my car when its slick out, i have like new yokohama tires and im still sliding around. So i usually park my car and drive my hooptie explorer. Anyhoo... i noticed last night, and not before, that i got a **** load of wheel hop when easing off the line and then flooring it in 1st. I know M2 makes something to help out wheel hop, but what is it? trailing arms? is there anyway to just get rid of it period? also, how good to Yokohama AVS intermediates hold up in dry/wet conditons? anyone have any ideas? thanks!

yeah, the trainling arms and their competition toe links HELP with the reduction of wheel hop, but most agree that it has to do with the rear suspension dampening, and if you are on the track, some full or ET type slicks will cure it all....

r explicit's right on the money.



I have the k2rd trailing arms/toe links and they did help out my wheel hop quite a bit, still did not cure it. The best way to get rid of wheel hop is to simply launch higher...seriously.

The toe links and trailing arm set up will cost about 450. Check these links, Pettit or M2. I personally am going with the Pettit toes and M2 trailers. Not till after I replace most of my rear bushings.
