Mechanical Solution to wheel hop?
#23
Ok I don't get it. That orange brace is boxing in the rear subframe. What's that gonna do to help with wheel hop? The way I see it, when you launch, the diff tries to wind up. The end bolted to the PPF is gonna push down, and the other end where the diff mounts press in is pushing up. Soft diff mounts and PPF movement would allow it to coil up like a spring, causing wheel hop. Seems like a brace that tied the PPF/diff area to the car would be ideal, but that brace dosn't do that. What am I missing?

The Beatrush Brace does increase NVH quite a bit. I had a lightweight flywheel and it caused all that gear clatter on decel to be transmitted into the cab. With a stock flywheel I bet its not that bad. Rob at Flipside hard mounted his tranny and diff for a while and it sounds bad ***! No hop at all.

I want to kill wheel hop, so if Rob at Flipside did it, I want to copy what he did.
