GT2 RWD wheel hop

[avora.RWD]

I have a GT2 RWD and when I’ve tried to slide it recently, I’ve experienced some pretty bad wheel hop. Here are my suspension mods:

H&R lowering sport springs
Eibach sways front soft rear hard
Diff brace and reinforced diff bolts
275 rear tire on stock rim, 245 front
mando suspension tuning module, though most settings seem too stiff for the car to be happy sliding. i find turning the mando off
is the smoothest most of the time.

I see people like “TireRipper” on youtube and his car slides perfectly, i don’t see any wheel hop. I know the adaptive suspension is different, but what would be the fix to this? bushings?
also, i never have wheel hop on launches but also haven’t done brake boost launches yet.

Two things that I notice. Your width in the rear exceeds the recommended 255 on a 8.5" wheel. And having Eibach sway in the rear on "hard" also is not recommended for street. I can't address anything else.

What settings have you tried?
I find less hop/chatter with some firmer settings.

Maybe the rear sways? I used to get a really rough ride on turns when I had my rear sways set to stiff.

I changed them to soft.

What tire pressures are you running?

Many. My sport springs change the rebound quite a bit but i’ve tired both advanced and basic settings ranging from the stock sport all the way to using 80/85 stiffness, and i find that the wheel hop is a lot less prevalent when I use the stock setting. When I used a stiffer mode, it really felt like something was just banging up and down but stiffer. I haven’t tried enough settings for spinning, but so far stiff did not work out well. I’m starting to think I just need to raise my tire pressure, especially with slightly oversized tires. the sidewall flex or just not enough air could be causing me to lose and gain traction. I don’t remember having this issue on stock tires. There’s also a possibility I’m just not keeping RPM high enough to keep spinning well.

What kind of settings have you found success with?

Really, it's kind of mood dependent!

My current preferred "firm" settings are
