What are your coilovers set at? spring rates? ride height?

Either your suspension is too stiff or you are too low. When you are too low it's possible that you are hitting the bumpstops.

bumpy as in soft bumps or hard bumps..hard bumps=means stiff *** spring rates and ur dampeners need to be set at a stiff setting to match the spring rates on your springs. if its just a constantly soft up/down bounce..your springs are WAY too soft or you blew your shocks cause it might be too low of a ride and u bottomed out ur shocks, thus blowing them.

You should try some Polyurethane motor mount inserts...I installed the two front lower and my wheel hop is very minimal now. Besides...they're only $36.00

Hmmm, I must have missed the part of the thread where somebody mentioned wheel hop...

Dang...I'm just trying to help man. The link is just where I got them from...so if he's interested...he could possibly get them there too. I felt a noticable difference after I installed mine...that is all.

My car is doing the same thing at the track. Bushings. Get a master kit. Should solve the problem. Maybe its the tires though as I have those also...LOL. Pretty sure its bushings.
