Wheel hop?

Could any of these be contributing factors to wheel hop?

 

- Difference in camber of two wheels. Potentially 1-1.5 degree difference between each side

- Spare wheel and tyre removed (minus 40kg ish)

- Rear coilover height higher than front

 

I'm guessing fixing all 3 will sort the recently developed wheel hop but just checking...

From a standstill flooring it! I will try and lower the pressures. Will lowering the rear coilovers have any effect?

Softening them up yes, but lowering maybe not so much. Try them on the softest setting, with 30 psi in the tyres and see if it still happens.

Dampers with proper low velocity valving work best for controlling suspension prone to wheel hop. Most of the aftermarket height adjustable stuff has no proper low velocity valving, many have mono valving and will never work well. Bilsteins are probably the entry level damper that adresses low velocity valving separately. Nitrons in a seat height adkjustable damper. It's what's INSIDE that tube that counts, and most folk neither know nor care, hence the plethora of junk on the market.
