Re: axle hop
Axle hop is generally the leaf springs twisting, so more leaves will help that.
Re: axle hop
Caltracks or Traction masters. You need soft springs for them to hook up but some bars to stop them winding up.

Look up the "patience" thread. John put the good rear springs on his car.

Re: axle hop
Yeah cause its more aggressive, no converter slip etc. You can try 5 leaf but I would do reverse eye's. But if you want to launch a car you use bars and soft springs so it will load up the rear. Calvert do a split mono rear spring to go with Cal-traks they will hook up anything pretty much, even 1300hp Barra turbos.123abc wrote:it only started when i went manual

Re: axle hop
Not the best shot - it’s come down a little more in the rear after 1200 klm on the clock.
Rides nicely on the highway but will bottom out in the front if the bump is big enough.
