I got all 3 lower motor mounts for $110 shipped. They eliminated my wheel hop.

That's not going to cure wheel hop. He needs better motor mounts and some good tires. Better suspension would help too if he is still on the stock stuff. Traction bars work too.

me= stock tires, original mounts, and when i was on stock suspension, it worked and still works with current setup.
why?? higher rpm's = more torque to tires which doesnt allow them to grip road and produce wheel hop.

try 5000-5500 rpm's. works great for me. no hop at all and its free. mounts will also work

The only thing launching at 5000-5500 rpms will do is spin the tires...

http://www.jimfab.com also has traction bars. Full-race does too, but they are spendy.

If you want ot make some on your own... http://www.homemadeturbo.com/f...art=0

i know the styles that Full Race ,z10 Motorsports, and Lcon make for the eg are great, it all depends on what u wanna pay..Lcon is easy on the wallet. and proven.
that H beam traction thingy from what i hear adds stress to all the wrong places but is very cheap and will probably aid in messing up bushings but does work better than nothing imo. and correct me if im wrong by all means.
