Mods to stop or limit wheel hop
tony_danza:
Poly insert = better
Uprated lower mount + insert = better still
Full set of uprated mounts = eliminated.
It's caused by the engine and transmission rotating under torque, so the hop is the whole lot moving around on its mounts. An LSD won't cure it.
Yet to get 'hop' with my VF Engineering mount, doesn't mean it won't appear and catch me out though..
snapey:
Cheers for all the info chaps, best get saving, will be an expensive summer :laugh:

The best way is change the way you use modulate the accelerator IMO!

TBH I didn't get the improvement everyone else is reporting with the ECS insert, that's why I'm swapping to the full BSH setup. It's as Danza says, full set of mounts is what's really required (and ideally smaller wheels with thicker tyres) but the mounts will increase cabin vibration and harshness.
