are you riding on 17's ??

MX-3RR · Post by **MX-3RR** » June 12th, 2004, 7:38 pm

not now, with 17s was even worst so I got back to 15s. I also have strut tower bar and ventura spors springs,but still running on stock suspension. one more thing, since ventura spring didnt lower my mx as I wanted, my next upgrade will be dropzone coilovers, do you have any info about those???? are they good, because on EBAY they seem very cheap.

ive heard so many bad things about dropzone.....i have ground-control coilovers. expensive but denfitiely worth it. as for the wheel hop, those springs might be too stiff. that would be my first guess....

It's not your springs. It's your motor mounts. Fill your front and rear stock motor mounts with polyurethane. Problem solved.

you definitely get what you pay for. In DZ's case, you'll get a cheapa$$ ride for being a cheap@$$.

Try to fill the engine mounts with urethane, that helps with wheel hop quite a bit.

thanks people, you guys are like I have a personal mechanic at home

and what about the urethane engine mouts, can I get them on ebay?? cause the coilovers I was going to by them there.

I don't own a pair of drop zones (e-bay coil overs), but all I have read are bad comments on those who did buy them. The majority of people on here will recomend Ground controls.

As for the engine mounts, I believe corksport carries them.

I got wheelhop up the *** as well. I have perfectly filled front and rear motor mounts and no help.

I've decided that it's my struts. Has to be. I am going to replace those with some ZX2's and see if it helps.
My mx6 has no wheelhop at all, 190k on the chassis. I replaced struts so I am assuming that is the #1 cause, bad struts.

Replacing struts also fixed a huge wheelhop problem my friend with a 400 whp 300zx TT was experiencing.

For the benefit of all, some of my findings to cure wheel hop:

"up/down wheel hop" Would be caused by worn shocks or worn strut mounts or too stiff shocks/springs for the rest of the bushings/mounts

"front/back wheel hop" would be caused from worn control arm bushings

"powertrain-induced hop" would be caused by worn engine mounts and/or engine mount member bushings.
