Default Rear End Traction/Keeping it to the ground????

Hey All,

While I'm waiting on my new engine to get finished being put in the car I was do something about how to solve my rear end wheel hop problem.

Frankly I hit any sort of a turn with the smallest bump and my rear end is up in the air with complete ease. Not what I would call good for cornering / safety ;P

What parts should I change/upgrade to get good rear end traction/keep good driveability though?

I was thinking a coil-over suspension would help, but any ideas? and where would I get parts for the best price/service?

Thanks.
Bob

That doesn't sound normal. You need to replace shocks and maybe springs. Also check your sway bar bushings.

Blew up your 88 L98 huh? My 89 L98 blew as well. Sucks, don't it???

Would do you suggest to aid in traction though, as was part of his first post.
