Wheel Hop

[legg360]

I take it that you have the yellow insert? is it worth changing the top mount aswell or will just the bottom one do the job.
would replacing the wishbone & anti roll bar bushings increase the handling any noticeable amount or are the stocks ones pretty good anyway?

The yellow insert will be fine.

If you want to address wheel hop you will need to change the bushings or you can install the S3 lower control arms which are lighter and have stiffer rubber bushings as standard.

Then you may want to look at the engine mounts too. The sway bar is for body roll.

And remember to change those tyres!

dogbone insert helps quite a bit

Is the wheel hop that bad? I've had my car just over a yr and think I've only had wheel hop twice. I have crappy arrowspeed tyres on the front as well. Just about controlling your right foot IMO. I try and be quite progressive with my acceleration. No point spinning up the wheels! I'm sure there are things that can be done to improve things as others have suggested. I'd say just try and be a little smoother.

Ive noticed that I cant use full throttle off the line starts as this is where it happens if I wait that half second to second before easing to full it doesn't happen... pretty much same way not to get the wheels to spin.

I would have thought that with the 4000rpm hold with the clutch down quickest start would be to hold the revs quickly release the clutch let the traction control take up any wheel spin and off you rocket (seem to work very well in the dry) but in the damp they hop like crazy, wet road they just spin up tho
