Wheel hop on taking off
The SDL likes to hop the right rear when I take off from a stop. I get a lot of hop and noise. I know the shocks are overdue for replacement as the car is also floaty. Do you guys think that shocks will fix this or is there more suspension work involved?
FYI it only started doing this after theALDA was removed. I get a lot more power on takeoff now as Miss Alda was virginal when I removed her Which shocks do you guys recommend? Thanks, Joe

New shocks will almost certainly fix wheel hop. Bilsteins are hard to beat.

Just ordered four Bilstein HD shocks... Can't wait to see the difference they make in the ride!
