my buddy has an 04 type s A-spec we went to the drag waythe other day and i was getting crazy wheel hop, does anyone have any suggestions of what they have done to reduce the wheel hop. he was going to buy and engine dampener and was wondering if anyone made a traction bar system for the car andy help would be great

 

get engergy suspension bushings which cost like 30 bucks

 

are they press in bushings or bolt on

 

what were the tire pressures? give me a cold reading.

 

not sure if a-spec has different tires but i know the rest of the rsx's have some crappy tires so maybe look into that as well

 

had hfp wheels
with kumho ectsa tires even with the the factory wheels which are michellin mxm4 sumthing like that still had alot of wheel hop

 

you need a H-brace .... 04 is pretty new...the engine mounts/dampeners should still be good.... so no need in replacing...

Could you please explain how an H-brace would help wheel hop?

yeah i have the same problem with my 06 S i mean its bad somtimes it feel like the dash board is gonna break i have the stock tires on. any suggestions? oh and whats better the energy mounts or a tourq damper

 

i have heard good things about the torque dampeners

 

motor mounts and torque dampers will get rid of 90% of the wheel hop. The rest of it will be in lower tire pressures and better overall tires!
