    None of the rear sway bar links/brackets I have will work so I'll probably have to buy or make some.

    Oh, shit! I totally forgot about this. Sorry, I should have warned you.

    Brad, have you tried adjusting your dampers to eliminate the wheel hop? Im sure the answer is yes, but that is a great way to help reduce the wheel hop.

    I've hopped on soft and hard, front and rear. I've hopped on low and high tire pressures. I've hopped in the wet and the dry. I've hopped off the line and at 50 mph.

    I've come to the conclusion that my car is actually a bunny rabbit.

    I figured you had already tinkered with that and wore out the options there. Maybe at this point call the vet clinic and ask how to cure a hopping rabbit?

    Either that or turn down the torques a bit.

    I've tighten up the chassis by fixing the spot welds and removed the last rubber bit from the rear suspension. I have a bit of play in my axle CV's that I could deal with and I could put some drag radials on it, those are my last two options to fix the hop.

    Why doesn't the rear sway bar work? 210mm diff?

    The sway bar work with a 210. The e46 rear upper control arms use different links that don't work with aftermarket sway bars, therefor you need to buy or make new links. Jaker just doesn't use a rear sway bar because of how he set up his suspension.

    No rear bar permits moar powers to get to the pavement coming off corners.

    You do need to up your rear spring rate though to compensate for some of the lost roll resistance and to maintain the front/rear balance.

    See, you don't just yank your rear bar, you need to set it up for it! I got Jaker's hand-me-down springs after he did that.

    I have 680F/800R. I know Jaker has higher rates than that.

    Stock rear bar with proper rates is great. Going that high of rates out back on a high powered car will hurt traction, especially in the straight line. Remember Jake makes like 250wtq...

    On a turbo e36, I wouldn't go stiffer than 600 personally. Personally I've never liked no rear bar, I prefer a stock or smaller than stock rear bar, with properly matched spring rates, poly rear bushings, and properly valved shocks. I also really like running H&R race rear springs out back for high powered cars. The progressive rate springs allow you to understeer in a corner and throttle harder to make up for the softer rate. From a launch, or low speed roll the H&Rs do great!

    I ran 700F/850R with no rear sway bar and didn't note any I'll effects. I ended up putting the rear bar back in when I installed TMS bars and there was a difference but that may have been the larger bar up front too

    No rear bar requires 800+ for the corners. From a launch or low speed roll, that would be too stiff for proper traction.

    If you go way stiffer out back only, it will throw off the balance of the car. With a heavier turbo set-up up front, I would go 550 at least up front.

    You may enjoy it even more if you go 50 - 100# stiffer up front to compensate for the added front weight of the turbo set-up.

    I use to have 550F/650R and with the weight of my car I wouldn't have wanted the springs any softer. Even launching with my current springs the car still squats.
