Does your GS suffer from wheel hop?

As hard as I drive and most of you guys should know lol...no hop here.
Be it drifting, donuts, burnouts, or high stall drag launches...no hop.
Keep in mind I'm running 295 width tires in the back and have LSD, I still spin the wheels like no tomorrow thru 3rd gear but still no hop. Even on my old setup with 245 rears and no-LSD it didn't hop. Check out your subframe bushings and all the other busings in the rear. Worn out bushings will cause some serious hop and can possibly damage other stuff if you keep continue to do it.

it's gone..
I set my rear coilovers 2 clicks firmer and checked/ adjusted air pressure in tires. one front was 24lbs hot. I set them all to 35 psi hot. one rear was a little over and one was a little higher. I also jacked it up by the diff and tugged at control arms and checked bushings. evrything seemed tight and fine.
I tried 3 or 4 launches from a stop and it spun smoothly all the way through first gear.
I also have a half tank now and was at 1/8 before, that may also have something to do with it. we'll see.

do you have the traction control on? i think its sensing wheel spin and then slows your speed in order to get traction and then when you finally do get traction the other car is already spitting rocks at yourwindshield. try turning it off it has vsc written on the button
