Wheel Hop with JRCCs

[OrTegSC]

I've seen a few people mention it before, but I haven't really seen any good solutions. I got a 96 GSR with a JRSCC/6PSI/BTM/VAFC/AEM/RSRH/GreddyExh , stock 15 inch wheels (lite), 205 P7000SS tires, and about 45K on the car (20k on the JRSC), and the stock clutch.

If I let the clutch out easy and get the car up to 2500 rpm, then floor it, I get almost instant wheel hop. It's pretty severe sometimes, and I can pretty much always get it to happen of the ground is at all wet or rough. I've done several runs at the Woodburn drag with my times very limited by it. (14.0@101-102MPH, 2.3-2.4 60fts)

So, what are the opinions on the following changes in regards to wheel hop.

(1) Upgraded Urethane engine mounts
(2) Upgraded Urethane upper and lower suspension bushings.
(3) ITS LSD (or other)
(4) Larger wheels

All three of the ES torque mounts should cure it, or at least most of it.

Sometimes specific tire compounds can cause greater wheel hop.

ES three point engine mount inserts make most of it go away... yes your rearview mirror will viberate at idle... I think it's worth it...

ES torque mount inserts. They are the way and the light.

Don't forget guys, the two side ones are the most important ones and also the easiest to install. I haven't seen wheel hop since I put my two side ones in about 4 months ago. GGRRRRRRRRRRRRREAT investment and well worth the small amount of vibration that picked up after the mounts. Do it and you won't regret it.

I have the two sides ones in and still get mad wheel hop, I am running on stock tires though, so that probably has something to do with it, and the fact that I drive with setting 4 in front on my AGX's

[FoxRocket]

Crom, you drive with your AGXs on 4? Wow. I tried that for a day and pretty much had the crap beaten out of me by my car. 4 is pretty damn stiff.
