Yes it will make it worse if it is the same as my previous things I have had that was lowered but there is ways to fix it I just don't have that info for you someone should

a friend of mine has a set of traction bars for a camaro we might try to make work
sucks not having traction till the high end of 4th gear

[iracedchevy]

i just never had anything that had it as bad as this

Tires also make wheelhop...My Stealth had horrible wheelhop with the tires that were on the stock rims, but when I put new tires on the eclipse rims and threw those on: BAM! no more wheel hop.

i am looking at a set of rt 17" wheels for the summer.

[Strtrcril87]

Toss on some wheels with new tires just for an experiment and I bet it won't wheelhop.

[iracedchevy]

it has new tires on it now but they aint very wide

[Strtrcril87]

On a vette forum they were saying a hard sidewall will cause wheel hop...did it wheel hop before the temps got so cold?

[iracedchevy]

it has since the day i bought it

Caltracs are the only way to go......That's what all us R/Ters use.
http://www.dakota-durango.com is the place to go to find some good info and sale items.
