Default Wheel hop?`

Has anyone lowered there C6-Z51 and found that are getting more wheel hop then before they did? I have mine lowered and I am starting to think that I get wheel hop now, I don't really remember if I got wheel hop before or not. But I do now, Already cracked one rear end any left it all over the track. Let me know guys, Thank's

My 06 Z51 is not lowered and has terrible wheel hop, so I'm not sure if the lowering had anything to do with it.

I agree, I lowered my C6 Z51 about 4 months ago, ever since then I have experienced terrible wheel hop. I have tried running with gas, without gas, tire pressures from 27-35 psi, and it is always there.

Wheel hop is a monster that someone needs to tame. I have it all the time and it is annoying because I know soon or later I am going to break something.
