Wheel hop on the nismo

shayandude · 10-13-2012, 09:07 PM

I recently installed the bc br coilovers and I was testing the car out yesterday and when launching the car all I get is wheel hop? Any ideas or recommendations? I tried 2500 and 3000 rpm. I thought maybe it was me, so I let my buddy do it and same result. And he has the same set up as mine, his is a base/ sport which shouldent really matter. What you guys think? Do I need to redo the rear?

Your rebound is too slow. Try a softer setting.

BC BR coilovers have a seperate rebound setting?

Dcnismo, I'm at 14 all the way around right now. Should I try 11 perhaps?

If 14 is stiffest. I would try 5 or 6 on the rear and leave the front at 11. Stiffer is not always better. When I get around to new suspension I'll get some that have true independent compression and rebound control. Either JRZ or Moton.

the bc br goes to 30. 1 is the softest and 30 is the stiffest. so i went full soft and then 14 clicks.
its not bad to have stiffer up front and softer in the back?
i was thinking maybe do 10 or 11 all around?
