Default Launching

Having problems getting a good launch on my type s. I have 18'' Tenzo passions with Kumho tires. The suspension has eibach lowering springs and stock struts. Every time i take a launch the front tires hop regardless of what i do. Anyone have any launching tips or any suggestions on what i should do/buy to fix this problem?

Motor mounts more than likely, but either way if you are on street tires you sould really be trying to not spin the tires.

Get some ESMM Inserts. I have them and they work great, no more wheel hop.

you can do it yourself as long as you have the tools and a jack to keep the motor from leaning
pretty easy tell you the truth rear mount might be a pain though

do one at a time

First off get smaller wheels. Forget the inserts just get the innovative mounts. They helps alot. If your stock launch higher around 4-5000RPMS. You will hook up better. &lt;--Just from my experience.
