Default Bad wheel hop

I searched around and found some info but I couldn't find anything on my exact problem. I took my car to the track for the first time since i did my swap and i couldn't launch hard off the line at all because it was wheel hopping so bad i was afraid my axles were going to snap in half . My car is a 99 civic with a h22 swap running avid billet mounts with hasport axles, im running on stock suspesion wich has never been replaced so i'm almost certain thats the problem but i wanted to make sure before i started buying parts that wouldn't fix the problem... Thanks in advance for any help!!

H22 Torque &gt; EM/EK Platform

Traction bars? Solid Motor mounts? Struts/springs a definite.

I would invest in some traction bars and better suspension. How stiff is your front's ?


I can't say if your mounts are the reason for the extreme hop

just beef up the suspension for the set up you have and maybe put in an engine torque damper and you should be more than fine

I am almost curious on what kind of suspension he has, because I know of somebody with an H22 Crx and has Hasport MM's and stiff suspension and he doesn't seem to have as much abuse as to this guy and his Ek.
