Thumbs down Wheel Hop!

Man, my sedan has masty wheel hop if you spin the tires too hard. I launched at the track too hard........spun the tires and then the tires started hopping like crazy.

Anyone else had the Hops? Does anyone make urethane suspension bushings for the G35s?

My coupe has the same problem if I'm not careful, it sucks. I had a 300z that did the same thing, stillen makes urethane bushings for the 300z but I haven't seen any for the G. I know the 350 z's are being raced(pro sponsored), so I'm assuming someone makes bushings, just haven't seen any.

I just saw that kietixracing.com has "traction bars" for the 350Z/G35.

Has anyone tried these out? I wonder if they help with the wheel hop. It is frustrating to have to worry about axle/whel hop if you start to spin the tires hard.

A bunch of factors contribute to wheel hop. Anything from too much unsprung weight to how soft your motor mounts are. Most often in our cars (in my opinion) it's a combination of excessively heavy wheels and soft suspension dampening.
