Decided not to try the spring clamps.
No offense but I just do not care for the "look" even if it does resolve the problem..
I am fed up with this wheel hop problem.
Everything else on this car is great
It drives me crazy that I cannot jump on it w/o fear of breaking something with the crazy wheel hop.

I am ready to spend whatever it takes (lets not get crazy!)
to fix this problem. I would like to make one call and order the parts necessary to maker this problem go away so that I can enjoy
my car!
Suggestions?
Thanks,
Scott

With conventional springs, you have two choices:
1) 5-leafs (like GWs), HD shackles, del-alums and soft valved shock
2) 4-leafs (poly bushings), HD shackles, sway bar, Caltracs (or similar) and firm shock

or less conventional with mono-leaf and Caltracs

The last is probably the lightest, if weight is important. As stated before, I have #1 with excellent results in both straight line and corner-carving. Take your pick and order away ....
