Just purchased my first 03 cobra, when I get on the gas hard in first gear the wheels spin and hop really bad, how do I go about preventing that? Thanks for the help!! And for dealing with all my newb questions. :-)

 

Welcome to MF! Post a few pics...and whats been done to your new Cobra!?

....this will help, link: http://www.fulltiltboogieracing.com/irs.htm

 

Thanks!! I can't figure out how to post pix from my phone, not sure if that's even possible, but the only pix I have right now are on my phone. Nothing has been done to it yet, it's bone stock with 81k on it. But I have some plans for it!! Thanks for the link, I'll check it out!!

 

Spherical ended control arms + a solid axle swap and good shocks I hate IRS. But honestly your IRS bushings are probably getting crappy

 

First thing invest in a IRS brace if you dont want it in peices on the street. Unless you plan to toss a bunch of money into bushings and axles theres not much you can do other than stickier tires. I personally dont road race so i did the solid axle swap like uber said and was able to build a built solid rear for about the same price i sold the irs for. For drag/street racing its the only way to go.

 

We know how you feel and this is why we created the "stop the hop pak" for the Cobra.

Check it out here and let me know if I can put the order in for you. Won't find a better package on the market.

Thanks y'all, I'll take a look into it all a bit more!!

 

Solid axle is your best bet. Don't get too much wheel hop cuz that's when things go boom

 

my irs has zero wheel hop on street tires and good mods. irs mods include full tilt boogie racing fr500 kit and billetflow brace. however, i'll be selling the irs soon, gonna upgrade to a straight axle so i can launch it on 2step
