    gto wheel hop

    First off i'd like to say hello to all, i'm new to the forum and glad to be here.

    I bought my 2004 gto about a month ago, I really like it but i'm getting a lot of wheel hop! 1st 2nd and sometimes 3rd! Can anyone offer me some info that will cure it or at least tame it down a bit ? any info will help

    Welcome to the board, Any questions you have just post them up in the correct section and you should get all the answers and advise you need.
    May have to look into some suspension work and new tires for the rear. Becareful with the wheel hop, One time is all it takes to snap alot of parts, trust me i know first hand.

    hi and welcome. yeah we have a gto section here. it helps out alot more. as for the wheel hop bmr drag bags will practicly take that away. plus you need to look under the gto sectio about bushings

    Go to the GTO section, the cheapest thing to do is Drag Bags, however I put in a 1 piece Drive-Shaft, Harrop Rear Differential Cover, and BMR Half-Shafts, and BMR Axle stubs, and don't have the problem, however, I did just put on Drag bags for better track times, with DR's.....but My set-up is wayyyyy more expensive than most, the Drag bags will do it for you..
