How are you motor mounts ?

Try urethane inserts, a good spring rate, and set your shocks to #5.

I have no wheel hop at all.

I agree with him. I had my suspension turned all the way up and I didn't experience any wheel hop until the front and driver motor mount bolts broke inside of the block. It wheel hopped majorly for those couple miles until I could figure out what was wrong. It isn't the fault of the stiff suspension, just another mistake in an already bad h22 swap.

im working on some traction bars for Accords with a fabrication friend of mine. im a drag racer at heart but these bars will be copatible with daily driving as well. they will virtually eliminate wheel hop.
i will be sure to update as things progress.
