S550 Wheel hop issue

[Grebnitty]

Hi. I get real bad wheel hop when I launch, I can't even use launch control because I can't get the power down. I've been doing a bit of research and it looks like the first step should be a bushing kit. Is there any out there that can help reduce wheel hop but still keep the NVH down? Because I've been reading lots of these bushing kits create a lot of noise. I'm a daily driver but I like to get the power down once and a while. Any advice would be great thanks.

Well worth a look at the products he offers for your car.
On my own, went down the proverbial Rabbit hole hard with a slew of other products that either didn't work or failed shortly there after before coming across FTB. His products and advice, have proven to be dead nuts reliable.

Start with something simple like lowering the air pressure in the back tires. See if it helps, also an IRS car you can't launch much above 1500 no matter what kit you have in there. You have to peddle it out.

I've never had an issue with wheel hop.

Thanks for the tips. Going to do some more research. I've read good things about Full Tilt Boogie as well, Rick.

I emailed Full Tilt Boogie and a guy named James sent me a ridiculously detailed email with videos about every single part of the IRS and how they work and which ones give you the most benefit , all prices included. Very professional and informative. I will most likely go with these guys when I am ready to upgrade. Thanks for the tip, Rick.

In my case, FTB products have far surpassed my expectations as has their after sales support. Bruce went above and beyond helping me to sort out a handling issue with my own car that was not related to his own products.
I can't thank him enough and think about exactly that every time it puts a grin on my face.

Speaking of FTB, doing another Cobra kit today.

These guys are on my radar. One thing at a time though. I need the shocks first!
