what are some of the ways to reduce wheel hoping at launching ?

 

traction bars are a good way to reduce wheel hop.

http://www.jimfab.com
http://www.z10eng.com

These are 2 places that sell them.

 

....reinforcing the motor mounts (ES inserts) will help as well.

 

hope it doesn't do it

 

Filled motor-mounts . Quite a few Spec-V owners are having their motor-mounts filled with urethane . I have major wheel hop on my SE , no LSD with the automatic tranny .

 

I have heard that there is a way to fill the motor mounts with a construction grade caulking this is the "ghetto way of doing it" anyhow traction bars are extremly helpful. If you have the money then just buy the polyurethane motor mounts from a aftermarket company....

 

will the jimfab bar clear a spoon header?

 

spend 30-40 bucks and get Energy suspension motor mount inserts and don't do it the "ghetto" way.... thats just rediculous

 

not that its ghetto, but from my experience, filling motor mounts works better than the ES inserts

 

I use to have a link to filling the motor mounts. If you go that route, use the 3M window urethane.

 

3M window urethane , thanks that's the product I couldn't think of .

 

What sort of suspension settings are best to reduce wheel hop, some say stiffen
the back and soft on the front, what works best?

That's what I've always heard, With adjustable shocks, set the rear shocks very stiff and the front shocks very soft. And that helps keep the front end planted (rears stiff) and helps prevent wheel hop (fronts soft).

 

I would put Teins on my SE , Eibach sway-bar kit .

along with the other suggestions on this thread, I believe better than stock suspension would help decrease wheel hop.
