Sorry Granpa, can't go that option as I've been given this car to run at Championship events so no option to switch...

hmm, a new rack, ok. More toe out!! On RWD 2wd & 4wd cars I've found more toe out will make it wander in a straight line. Is why I took some out. Is it not the same on fwd cars? As for tires, most run Super Grips frt-rr...

My understanding is that the car hops because the rear is gripping up. Personally i like a lot of rear grip so it doesnt overly bother me when i see it, but the fast drivers would drive with less rear grip than i do and in turn their cars rotate better.
Hmm, ride height... I have it level on 4.5mm atm. I might try playing with that.
The rear hopping I thought was caused by the car feeling "dead" cos the oil was too thick not allowing suspension movement. Dropping the oil wt down from 500 to 400 did help that a little and the suspension feels more lively now too.
