Any help from energy suspensions or mugen bushings or maybe ingalls engine damper/stiffer engine mounts? I'm starting to get really frustrated with wheel hop.

I now have a quaife lsd and kw suspension, the wheel hop is making me crazy!! Sometimes it launches really well and well sometimes... ARGH! I try my best to avoid it but still..

No radius rods for the EP etc. like on the EG civic?

 

From what I understand the ES motor mount inserts will do the job, and they are the cheapest solution, but J's racing, and Ingalls both make torque dampeners that will do the job also.

 

ES MM inserts are cheap and effective if you like some rattling in the cabin. Mugen has MM replacements which do not add any rattling but are much stiffer. A torque damper is mediocre at stopping wheel hop, the best is the motor mounts. If you have a heavily modified engine, you might want to purchase MM and a torque damper.

 

If you have enough money just go with hasport mounts. Or if you don't, just get motor mount inserts.

Hasport doesn't make mounts for the EP3

 

O well then just any mount kit that is solid should do the job.

 

I would get a torque dampner first. if that doesn't do the job then I would get the inserts. I like the dampner idea because when your not racing you can easily take out the bushings and get rid of the vibration for comfortable daily driving. The inserts however are there to stay. I have the insets in my EM2. The rattles can get annoying.

 

Get engine damper.
Works great and easy to install.

I have es mm inserts sitting in my room and i probably wont install it..

 

Motor mounts will make ur idle a bit rougher though. Better tires wouldnt hurt either.

Get a new driver and the problem will probably work itself out. Or you could learn how to launch. Just a couple suggestions from someone who knows .

 

What´s more effective? Installing motor mounts or engine damper? Or both?

I used to have alot of wheel hop. I had the J's racing td and that was pretty good. but I noticed when you get tires that are good, it doesn't wheel hop that much.

Inserts completely eliminated any wheel hop that I have.
After 2k miles, the only rattling I get is at idle and with the A/C on and it's 10x more tolerable than having a stiff suspension (which, IMO, is more annoying than a mild rattle in everyday driving).

Plus, the inserts were like $25.
