motor mount, wheel hop!!!

[stefano18]

so I went to the track and raced my car and noticed how bad the wheelhop was. I still ran a decent time 14.3 @ 99mph with a 2.2 60 ft wheel hopping the whole way almost. I been doing some research on mm and I still don't know what would be the best one. What brand do you guys recomend and what durometer? I don't mind a little vibes to get rid of most of the wheel hop. My buddy has a focus with vf engineering mounts and its like getting a back massage when your in his car, thats too much.

by the way what should these cars run stock?? because I have seen anywhere from 14.0 to 14.6

If you don't mind vibes, awr 80 is the stiffest mount, but I read somewhere that some people broke them at the track. There is an almost solid mount that will be sold pretty soon at protege garage I think. I have the su 62 mount and it works great.

 

[stefano18]

on the su 62, how are the vibes? and do you still get alot of wheel hop?

 

[redspeed]

Vibes are barely noticeable, and mostly when the ac is on. Wheel hop is basically completely eliminated, but you can still get some if you launch to hard. Since I got it, I go to the track almost every week, and got wheel hop only once in a couple of months of track use.

i tore my 70 AWR at the track, then tried a 80. it didnt break, but it did nothing for the wheel hop. the competition mounts from PG (released late this month) are the best thing for wheel hop. i have both the poly and solid version and they work wonders.

Got any more info on PG's competition mounts?

how are the vibes in the competition mounts??

 

[tru-boost]

they both add some vibs. the solid is obviously a little more harsh. i have abused both and they are equally tough. the wheel hop is greatly reduced.
the drivetrain is really locked in now. shifting is smooth as butter, even at WOT ! we tested and compared this mount to EVERY other option on the maket. both versions out perform the competition it terms of stability. and the poly version is surprisingly mellow.

I can't wait, I will get the poly one most likely!!! thanks guys!!
and it's coming out end of August right??
