Default Wheel hop question

Question...my car seems to wheel hop quite a bit. more than i ever noticed while launching and its really noticeable in 1st gear is i stomp it at a higher rpm. Is my rear quads bad? What else can cause this? Anyway to check to see if the quads are bad before i buy a new set of em?

Toss the quads in the garbage and todd the lower control arms in there as well. Get some Roush lower control arms from ebay for $99. You won't need the quads with beefier lca's.

Well i dont know if i wanna do lower control arms and bushings because i dont want to sacarafice any ride quality or add any extra noise. I know im only 20 but i act like an old man when it comes to my car. I love speed but i dont want to turn my car into a all out drag car that is not very comfortable to drive everyday.

If you want to see if your quads are bad, take one off and push it in. If it doesn't push back out to normal position immediately,it is bad.
