I recently autoxed my awd talon. my setup has agx shocks/struts with suspension technique springs, and ES bushings on the stock rear swaybar endlinks. I set the rear AGX's to 8/8, and the fronts to 3/4. During sharp turns the rear of the car would wheelhop while i tried to put power down exiting a sweeper, and a hard right turn. What on the 1g rear suspension would cause wheelhop? Could the rear shocks be blown? They do get stiffer as the settings increase..although it seems that the whole body bounces as well..
 
im not sure about rear wheelhop with a awd but ive heard its not good to have it at the stiffest setting it will prematurely wear the shocks i suppose you could have a blown a rear shock i have the same shocks in a 2gnt and havnt ever stiffend them all the way due to reveiws of the short life of stiff settings.-matt
 
It's hopping cause those shocks are too stiff at 8. Set the rear's to 5 and work your way from there, hope that helps. Cross your fingers & prey that it's not your transfer case or rear diff locking up...
