Wheel lift / hop

Post by Daryl Slawnikowski »

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 :thumbup: to Ken Motonishi :king: for his training time with Ozzie, during the Saturday / Sunday Autocross school. :P

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!

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

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)
