Well, I've been expirimenting and I just can't figure out this wheel hop!

Alright, but how does lowering it affect the ride quality? Now, I know if I wanted a nice riding car I should'a bought a Cadillac or something but in comparison to my 1996 GT (which felt like a 2x4 with wheels attached) I really like to way it rides. Also, what's the widest DR I can fit on my stock wheels?

315 Nitto DRs fit great on the stock wheels and will get rid of most of the hop. A lot of people run them.
Also, traction control isn't getting rid of your hop, it's getting rid of your power. It might be helpful on wet or snowy roads but I can't think of when you'd ever want it on dry roads.

When the temperature gets above 50 and the roads dry out, the hop will be much less than it is now. Like Hank says, there are methods for lessening it without going with a live axle.
The Traction Control in the Cobras is bad. If you have it on, you will pull out into traffic and suddenly lose power with cars bearing down on you. The first thing I do when I start the car is turn the TC off.

mine is lowered 2 inches, and it rides just fineSALEENstang96 said:
sometimes you just have to ease out of first and then launch
IRS can be a bitch at times
, and traction control should alway be off,another thing I love about the R, it has IRS-but no traction control :headbang:
plus the roads are supper cold right now...not your friend,
you should have seen the "Sunday Morning Burnouts" here at the house
we experienced alot of wheel hop and tacking out
h: 
I got the MM full coil over kit, IRS bushings, IRS Diff brace, 10.5" wheels and Nitto Dr's. I have virtually eliminated it in warm weather, but when it's cold/rainy forget about it, its always gonna be there. I dropped it 1 and 3/4 in front and 1 inch in back. It rides a tad rougher but not that bad at all. It also handles on rails.
