Icon2 wheel hop reduction question

well although i try to drive responsible and legal 99% of the time sometimes it is just WAY too much fun to side step the clutch at oh lets say 4-6k in 1st off the line LOL. my question is i have noticed i have MAJOR wheel hop and curious what would be a good cheap way to reduce it?

stiffer radius rod bushings should help to reduce some of the front to back motion.

well i recently had a shop look it over and they said the motor mounts were fine. this car is my daily driver and for the most 99% of the time i don't drive like a idiot just every now and than it's fun to goof off. when i do it i only do it for a second, not trying to saying that is acceptable i know it is hard on the tranny and clutch and and few other parts. what can i say i like my car it fun to drive

90A poly urethane for your engine mounts and radius rods is all I have to say.

Of course a shop is going to say your stock soft as shyte mounts are fine. They aren't cracked and they rebound & bounce like they are supposed to. It keeps the engine vibration to a minimum. Remember your driving an Accord not an NSX. Stick some 90A poly in them mounts and your wheel hop will turn into broken axles.....lol well maybe not quite broken axles, with a stock engine, but you see where I'm going right

Or you could weld in a motor plate......
