the engine moving causes wheel hop

those products are just examples ;P


edit: these are good either way

It's specially engineered design provides extra stability, enabling you to not only launch harder but to retain complete suspension travel, no binding!

edit 2: I think wheel hop has to do with the engine mounts also, you could try putting 3m window weld, where the mounts go I have to find that thread off of clubsi... except it seems like there down

 

stiffer engine mount will reduce wheel hop, but poly bushing(for your suspension) would help as well.

 

soggy mounts or not having the a/c bracket tq mount installed is the problem. if it occurs during shifts. traction bars will help if it does it bad at launch, but stiffer mounts help the most.

 

Very informative post
