I was testing out a new suspension set-up; solid struts in back. I liked the theory, so I made some and was fighting wheel hop that day. Had to play with it out of the hole, but with the 1 to 2 speedshift, I blew her up. Quaife or not, if you are playing with wheel hop, you are taking the chance of blowing her up.
Couple of things though; I did notice that my passenger axle was broken (within the cage area). I don't know if that was the cause of the hop, or the effect (with our cars you can still launch with a broken passenger axle. I've done it. But obviously not if the axle is snapped, lol). Also, I have since talked with a couple more people who have tried the solid struts and they were able to make it work but they (oddly enough) found that their times were not the best. So I'll be shelving this idea.
Incidentally, since I put the slicks on, I have had NO problem with wheel hop.
