Wheel lift / hop
Please take a look at Mako's video ( http://blip.tv/file/2854126/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ) Is the Rear wheel lift excessive? We only run the factory lower rear sway bar and no Rear upper stress bar. It has bilstein shocks and springs all around - Don’t know how old, they came with the car. Front has upper and lower sway bar. Running 205/60/13 Yokohama ADVAN A048. Does the front end dive to deeply? Let us know what you think and action to take if needed. Also special thanks
to Ken Motonishi :king: for his training time with Ozzie, during the Saturday / Sunday Autocross school.

Re: Wheel lift / hop
I don't see any wheel hop, and for a FWD car i'd say it's not lifting the inside rear enough. and not enough front negative camber.

Years ago we had a local driver running a Scirocco in DSP. Great driver and well prepaired car. He always got up on 3 like that if not more.
His license plate on the car read " ON3WHLS " Tom Ellam. Great guy!

I only see some Bad Muffler Hop
And some good inside wheel spin. No LSD?

Forget the wheel hop and lift issue, get three feet closer to the cones...

Looks like he was too close to a cone towards the end of the video...John Coffey wrote:Forget the wheel hop and lift issue, get three feet closer to the cones...

Re: Wheel lift / hop
Thats no lift at all. My Prizm GSi used to lift the inside rear tire half it's height. (ie the bottom would be aprox where the middle of the hub s/b)
