    Wheel hop during launch? New suspension w/ good tires

    New condor TA, subframe, and diff bushings. 500f 800r AGX shocks stock sways on re11's with g240 4.27lsd.

    First time launching this car and wasn't expecting wheel hop. My 318is never had hop, around the same gearing, but I had worn suspension and shit tires then. Launched around 2500-3k. I'd usually launch around 4-4.5k with the 318is.

      Not sure, I have the fronts at 3/4 and rear at 8/8. Front gripped better during braking with less dampening. The rear has a wheel rate less than 500lb and feels softer than the front even at full stiff. Can't tell if I needed stiffer rear spring or more dampening. Have probably 300+ more lbs in the rear than a regular e30.

      Threw my old eibach pro kit on my cousins 325e, and her rear ride height is almost 2" higher than what mine was. (Pro kit is pure shit btw) I think it was just a bad launch.
