I put the subframe spacers that cpark sells in last night and wheel hop didn't go away at all. It actualy seems worse, way worse. Before I put them I would get wheel hop but now the whole car shakes, hard! but whem i had someone look at the wheels when i spin them no bounce. it sounds like the subframe is smacking the body of the car. i cant find any wear spots or missing paint. i searched for another simular post but the solution was never posted. does any one else with these things have this problem? also my rear tires sound like they rub on hard corners now.

i know that my set up is suspect but the sound it makes is metal slaming in to metal

89 240sx 300zx (na) lsd, eibach springs and factory shocks (it was this way when i bought it) sr20det, jun flywheel, star stage 3 clutch, 17x9 rear wheels with 245/45/17 tires (ill switch back to 255/40/17 in the summer. ( which might get rid of the rubbing)
