Yes yes goood vewy goood.

Ive had mine in for about a year now, they do work. No more wheel hop, more power tranfered to the wheels instead of being lost as the engine moves. Minor vibrations but I don't even notice them anymore.

Then you need to work on your launch... no matter how good your mounts are you can't rev to 7k and dump the clutch.

They do make a considerable difference... as for the vibrations.. well they just become "normal" after a while. :thumbsup

Who the hell ever said I rev it up to 7k and dump the clutch? I get wheel hop when I punch it from a roll in first gear. Don't be assuming crap you don't know

Easy does it there, tough guy.

No one said you do that. As stated above, it's a hypothetical. Michael's explaining that with a FWD, no matter how much you aid your motor mounts, or make other additions to the suspension to help aid a launch, to avoid wheel hop on a strong launch, you need good technique.

At 2GNT.com, please leave the attitudes at the door.

Easy killer, first part was you have to launch according to your car. I don't think Hahn can go more than half throttle in first gear. The second part was just an example.

How good are your tires? Stock 14"s are light and thin, they are much easier to break free and start hoping, a wider tire with some more grip is going to bit better and you won't have as much of a problem. Is the suspension warn out? old spring/shocks won't have enough force on the tires to keep pushing them back to the pavement.
