Wheel Hop Problems!!!

[GullyBoy21]

I know that the mazdaspeed 3 suffers from wheel hop problems, but is it that bad? It feels like something is going to break its banging so hard. I think i've made it do it like 6 times in my one year with this car, b/c it dosn't feel right. I dont have the After market Rear Motor Mount yet. I dont have a clue if its normarl for this car to have soo much force as it hops and hits the ground. Can anyone let me know?

Get the mount. It will help.

motor mount eliminated the wheel hops completely for me.

Cool Which Rear motor mount did you get? Can anyone tell me if its normarl for this car to have soo much force as it hops and hits the ground? thank you guys for you time(RTM)

Yes, it's normal for cars with a lot of power. I have heard of road tests with Porsches that had the same issue.

 

[GullyBoy21]

Which rear motor mount should i get?

 

[mckraut]

I'm pretty happy with my Corksport motor mount inserts. $35 and 20 minutes of your time and you have less wheel hop and only slightly more noticeable vibrations, but not enough that things will start to rattle too badly on you.

+1 I just got my CorkSport mount inserts installed as well and I think they are a nice improvement.

 

[GullyBoy21]

You think Inserts are better than a better rear motor mount? and are they inserts only for the rear motor mount, or all?

 

[chacon101]

It depends on what you are willing to live with. I wanted less engine movement while not having a lot of vibes in the car. So the inserts were a good compromise for me.

The inserts are just for the rear engine mount at the bottom.

I have the SU MM and the vibrations are next to nothing. The improvements are astronomical, well worth $120-$140.

How much performance advantage will the SU or TRZ poly give over the CS inserts? Do they justify the extra cost?

I want to greatly eliminate wheel hop and improve traction, but like most, want vibrations to be next to nothing. Having a hard time deciding which route to go.

 

[MS3077]

I've heard of people breaking the stock rear mm. This is one reason I went with a full mm upgrade

Ive got the TRZ poly , plus also running the Cobb springs. Helps alot, but have got the odd hop on spirited driving.

 

[Bravnik]

Dogbone Poly here. Love it. Get some vibes at idle and also at low RPM on the Highway but it's not bad.

 

[GullyBoy21]

Yeah i've been thinking about the DogBone Poly rear motor mount. I love that Sig lol

 

[fructus]

I've tried TRZ Poly, SU, and epoxied stock mount which probably would equal CS inserts. TRZ by far is the most vibrating mount. Unbroken SU mount gives produces less vibrations than broken in TRZ mount. Epoxied stock mount is not a big improvement over stock, though I must say that I tried this option after I drove with TRZ mount for a few hundred miles. I would say that SU mount perhaps is the most optimal choice.
