would having eibach sportlines without camber kits cause wheelhop?
cause i get it really bad when i shift into second and third.....the only other mods ive done since it started to wheel hop is an act2600 and it was put on the same time as the springs
 
I don't think the springs would effect wheel hop a lot other than having stiffer spring rates than stock. I don't think camber would effect it too much either. You might be putting down more solid power now with the clutch though so that might be the cause. Try some new polyurethane motor mounts, i heard they work wonders with wheel hop.
 
its ur clutch, i bet u took the hydrolic restrictor out of the clutch line too didnt u? its there so u cant let the clutch out too fast, removing it will give u faster shifts and reaction times but will put more stress n many of ur cars parts
regardless, wheelhop is ur worst enemy if u have fwd, wheel hop blew a 5" hole on the back side of my friends tranny in his 96 fwd, also ruined his clutch(a gear hit the pressure plate), u need to get a set of prothane solid urathane motor mounts, my friend put those in with the new tranny and it elimated all of his wheel hop, and they had the same effect on my friends turbo avenger, no more wheel hop
they are a pain to install but its worth the effort, get all 4 motor mounts and install them all at once, u will be quite happy with them, u will feel ur car shaking with he engine, he stock ruber mounts absorbed most of those vibrations, solid urathane mounts dont absorb anything, but the car shaking a little at low rpm is a small price to pay for eliminating all ur wheel hop, ur tranny is much safer with the solid mounts in there(and if u blow it u will fine fwd 2g trannys are in short supply, my friend had to pay $950 for his used, and that was the cheapest one he found)
 
its ur clutch, i bet u took the hydrolic restrictor out of the clutch line too didnt u? its there so u cant let the clutch out too fast, removing it will give u faster shifts and reaction times but will put more stress n many of ur cars parts

i didnt remove any restrictor out...or i dotn think i did...anyways ill try the motor mounts
thanks for ur help
