YES there is some wheel hop on the g's, I don't know why it doesn't seem to be a universal issue, could be weather, tires, even different ideas on what wheel hop is. . . I've owned FF cars and the wheel hop you experience in a g is very similar. I have noticed that it only seems to happen on wet pavement for me, when it's dry I either hook up or slide sideways

I go away for two days, and its a three page thread... wow
granted some of those are the usual flames and some of them are actually dang good info, thanks for the responses of kinetic makes some parts to get rid of it and maybe i should take the car in to get it checked. Meh, its not a big deal, I just get wheel-hop because i like launching at higher rpms, guess that means launch lower.
As for problems with the suspension, i'm curious about that but considering its an 06 with 9k miles on it i doubt it.

Maybe we can bring peace back to this thread (and I realize my part) and get some useful information. We all can agree that wheel hop sucks, and would like to do something to prevent or limit it.
Wilksoner you said that you don’t get wheel hop. Maybe the increase in horsepower from the intake and exhaust mods combined with the relatively stiff s-techs and swaybars is a cure. Did your G hop before the mods?
Come to think of it, I have not done a drag style launch since putting on my sways and h-techs. When I get my G back from the dealer, I’ll do some scientific experiments.

ALMOST ANY IRS REAR DRIVE car is going to wheel hop! Um sh1tty AMERICAN suspension?? Why do you even chime in in 3/4 of the posts you reply to? Most of time the info you spout is completely false
