So i am lately having some wheel hop when launching the car hard, pretty sure this occurred after i lowered the car with Cobra Suspension lowering springs.

Now i must say that my Michelin Super Sports are pretty worn out, could this also affect wheel hop? (tire catching grip, loses grip and so on)

Also when doing burnouts it hops in the beginning, the car did not do this when i just got it.

Anyone experiencing this problem as well?

Iā€™ve noticed this as well on the stock tires. Mine seems to only do it when I step on it from a roll going around 40+. When Iā€™m running e50ish itā€™ll light the tires up, but not before some major wheel hop. Iā€™m lowered on h&r springs.

Mm strange, maybe the lowered and stiffer suspension is to much for the bushings creating wheel hop

It's the altered suspension. Mine is stock suspension and there's no hop whatsoever. Just a beautiful touch of sideslip, and then gradually hooks up.

Mine is bone-stock, wheel hops when I gas it from a 10mph-ish roll-out...
