Re: too much wheel hop! (civicsaremean)

replace motor mounts with solid units or install some inserts at least. and you could also try one of those dampening units- looks like a little shock absorber that fits on the motor mount. yes its not good for your car to have bad wheelhop.

Re: too much wheel hop! (civicsaremean)

check your tire pressure maybe you have too much air...other than that id agree with the motor mounts

Car height doesn't have any meaningful effect on wheel hop.

Traction bar, H brace, or mount inserts will help.

Re: too much wheel hop! (civicsaremean)

try a suspension bushing kit.... i read it on the box (says it stops wheel hop). I have no clue if it does stop it or not.

second that also tires make a difference and do you have a LSD? most likely not so look at that also.

Stiffer struts and shocks worked for me. I blew a brand new tranny from too much wheel hop. It's extremely violent!! Avoid it at all means!

Re: too much wheel hop! (civicsaremean)

I once broke a spring iin my front left side on my mx3. It was so bad. I went to do a burn out and the bitch bounce like it was on hydraulics.

IT was funny .

Re: too much wheel hop! (MAX PAYNE)

new struts, lsd, solid mounts all sound like a good idea if its a huge problem for you. also maybe u just need to get the tire spinning faster so it wont hop. haha.
