Wheel Hop
 
Does anyone else notice that there seems be an unusual amount of wheel hop with the Mazda3?

I had my car lowered and the stiffer springs seem to help a little during take off ...

Anyone know what else would help this problem out?

FWD cars wheel hop...it happens....you can get some stiffer struts and get poly motor mounts....an LSD would help evenly distribute power better too....

awr racing makes a aluminum rear motor mount should help u out and the lsd will help too, but the motor mount is the critical link for this problem

Well, I guess its not bad bad ... but u lose traction and its annoying and the first time it happens, you wonder what the heck just happened

if you feel wheel hop, let off...that can destroy diff's
