Stop wheel hop 1989 FC

Actually, I have found that adjusting the rear shocks stiffer will actually improve wheel hop (I had serious issues with it before). Setting KYB AGX shocks at 8 seems to fix the issue almost entirely.

This is actually the opposite of the setting required for maximum weight transfer and minimum axle hop on a solid rear axle car.

I think that weight transfer is not as good with the stiff shocks, but the car still launches at >1g with factory size tires on it.
