wheel hop

anybody else experience really bad wheel hop on wet roads? Driving in the rain is not going to happen often, but i did the other day. It was bad enough that old school traction bars would have been nice.

RE: wheel hop

I drove all week in rain ..no problem here. I have had no wheel hop on dry. I do need mud flaps or should I call them rubber flaps.
One burn off after work took about 20 minutes to clean. I did go look at marks today...nice posi marks...
I LOVE THIS CAR PEOPLE!!!

RE: wheel hop

Maybe not...the tires get sticky when warm. I learned day 1 to only screw around when tires are cold.

Did you have the ESP on or off?

RE: wheel hop

Adjusting pressures down a little to decrease the tires "spring rate" will lessen this tendency. Most independent rears can exibit this because they are more compliant front to rear.
