[QUOTE="Hotrodtractor, post: 475125, member: 25"] I believe that hop to not be an issue with the coils themselves, but more of an issue with the entire setup. Hop when pulling is generated by something in the system that allows energy to build up to the point where the system can no longer contain it and it is suddenly released - you control that hop by reducing the amount of energy that can be stored, by increasing the release point of that energy, by controlling the release rate of that energy, or a combination of all of the above. Energy in this system is stored in the coils, the radius arm bushings, the tire sidewalls, and even a little in component flex. The release point is determined by how much the tires can grip the track to maintain the stored energy. The release rate is controlled mostly by the shocks and the bite of the tires to the track. Joe - the track of the vehicle won't change under the small amount of movement you suggest if you maintain good geometry on your track bar and your drag link. A good rule of them is to make them both the same length and parallel to each other - then they will follow the same basic path throughout the motion of the front end and keep you going in the same direction as you intended no matter how much or how little your front end suspension is compressed.
