Let's see if this helps with the wheel hop at all. I have a feeling the tires are gonna do a lot more than these parts will, so next time I go to the track I'll bring the stock tires with me and make a few hits on those as well....

Those look great! Man, you don't mess around. Thanks for all the updates and picks. I have not been around these parts since buying a V2 caddy. Lost my login information so I have just been reviewing your posts. I recently picked up a 15gt. I loss about 200 rwhp with selling the caddy and buying this one. I ran 13.28@111 in my gt. Wheel hop is severe and I am curious to see how the links work for you. Keep us posted. Will you run slicks with the stock axles?

I have no intention on putting slicks on this thing; this is my daily that only goes to the track for a little scratch off. I have plenty of other rides with a LOT more power and a lot more track setup.

That's what base GTs are for.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I drive this thing like a go-kart. I just have enough trailer queens in the stable.

How did your car respond to the suspension mods on the street? Any noticeable difference in handling... any problems with harshness in ride quality? Lastly, any squeaks or rattles? Thanks for any feedback!

No rattles, squeaks or harshness. Haven't really gotten down on it yet, the weather has been horrible all week.

Okay, finally had good weather to hit the track today.......HUGE improvement. MINIMAL wheel hop....mostly just cleanly knocking the tires vs shaking the whole car.

Here is how bad it was before...



And here are 3 passes I got in today...

I have a question about handling, did this improve High speed street handling.
I currently have the Eibach Pro spring set and the steeda tower brace, but I want better control at 100....I'm thinking its the stock Pirelli Piro niro tires. but wanted to ask about those items you just installed. Looks like a sub frame brace too.

I get the Honda Tunner guys and they like to play. My car is faster and more powerfull but man can they maneuver at 100..
