i no longer get any wheel hop either. i also run very wide tires that
would certainly foul something if they moved much and they do not.
i have a beefy 302, mod tiger springs, koni anti-tramp shocks (in
place of traction bars) and no panhard rod.
with all the above and stock springs i was still getting tramp but no
lateral movement.
