questions

Alright first question, the only way a stut is blown is if its leaking oil right? Can it be messed up and not leaking? ( cause I can push one side down further than the other )

Next question, tokicos aren't stock correct? (I'm guessing they're HP's but they look black, they might be blue though) The guy I got the car from never said anything about suspension upgrades.

Next, wheel hop, is it worsened with firmer suspension?

Would LSD get rid of wheel hop, or just help? Same question for subframe spacers.

...just wondering...

... I'm not superpro with suspension, but doesn't wheelhop have to do with getting enough weight over the drive wheels as well as tire grip?

... I don't think LSD has nothing to do with wheel hop. The LSD's job is to get both wheels going at the same time, not keeping the wheels on the ground...

...but from what I've read elsewhere, there's angled subframe spacers that change the geometry of your rear suspension to better suit it for drag racing
