The wheel hop that you experience in tight turns with the throttle down is because your CV joints are binding and the effects are compounded by the dropped springs....I had a CV joint spill its guts on a diesel VW doing that in 1982 and avoid full lock throttle down turns at all cost.... Lighter wheels are the best thing you can do for your car.... They will make the whole drive last longer as well as the suspension and steering components..... I have experienced a smoother ride, lighter steering, amazing braking, better traction, accelleration, and less drive train wind up that causes wheel hop in straight line hard accelleration from a dead stop..... Less unsprung weight and rotational mass is a wonderful thing.
