Anti or No Hop Bars on 1964 GTO
My car came with No Hop Bars and it looks like they have been on the car for some time, more than likely 30 years. I don’t know a thing about them however my judgement is they are not necessary on a street car. I don’t have any plans to ever race the car and would like to just remove them. My question is if I do will I have to address or deal with any issues as a result of removing them. Things that come to mind are ride height and pinion angle changing? Also I believe that when adjusted properly to stop wheel hop they can bottom out when climbing a curb or when you would have a loaded back seat. I see evidence that the upper control arm came in contact with the trunk floor. At this point only some scratches on the paint.
