  • Wheel spin & tire hop

    Whats the best way to stop it?
    I have a '99 camaro V6 A4 with 275/40ZR17's W/ Kuhmo ecta supra 712's. Went to race a talon and when the light turned green he took off and I sat there spining the tires. Some times if I shift it into 1 when I come to a stop the tires hop and cause the low trac light to come on. Any help, What do you think I should do?

    Thanks

    You need to get some Lower control arms and a posi differential.

        from least to most drastic increase in traction: swaybar, sfc's, springs, shocks, tires, lca's, torque arm. yea, it all depends on the type of each component you get also.

          Calvo, I have the same tires as you do, and I had the same problem.
          Lower control arms WILL do it.
          Trust me.
          A LSD wouldn't hurt your launch any either.
