ehh your tires are proably getting less grippy.. this happens as they get older.. and that is what makes them hop is when they grab for a second.. rear end parts torqe up and spring back.. if the tire doesn't get grip the suspension doesn't torque up (axle wrap) and you get more wheel spin than wheel hop..-Brad

thats probly what it is. My tires dont have as much tread as they used too. So when I swap tires I would figure to have wheelhop. So whats a good suspension mod to get rid of wheelhop.Comment

That cant be my problem, I just put on new tires!

But thats what we are saying, New tires will tend to hop more because they have more traction. If you have old tires they will spin instead. I am going to try the lower control arms. Maybe you should do the same.Comment

E-Mail me at CtTanya@aol.com when you have them installed and let me know if that fixed it!

pretty much anything rear suspention wise would help with wheel hop also a torque arm would help but those are a little expensive, I've got nearly a fully upgraded suspention from BMR except for the torque arm and I never get wheel hop and I've got the 3.8L engine not the 3.41998 Arctic White 3800 V6 :mods: Whisper lid with K&N, SLP Cold Air induction kit, 50hp shot of NOS, KVR Front Brake Rotor blanks and KVR Carbon Fibre Metallic Pads (set of 4), BMR Strut Tower Brace, BMR Adjustable Panhard Rod, BMR Control Arm Relocation Brackets, BMR Control Arms, BMR Sway Bars, B&M ripper shifter, Centerforce Dual Friction Clutch, H&R lowering springs, and Flowmaster exhaust: MORE MODS AND WEBPAGE SOON!!!Comment

I’m new. I actually don’t own a Camaro or firebird. I do have a 2000 Camaro 3.8 fly by throttle and 4l60e. This is installed in a 1980 Triumph TR7...2 weeks ago -
