BAD Wheel Hop

Has anyone found a solution to the horrible wheel hop the 2k2-2k3's experience? I just got some new tires that stick really good - too good, but rather than spinning like the stock potenza's, my car just hops really bad... I some people ran slicks at the track - did those hop at all? The Pilot Sport A/S's grip nice - do those hop?

When I say BAD hop, I mean all of 1st under hard acceleration, and a bit of 2nd.

Anyone?

joo need polyurehtane mounts to make the motor a litle tame from bouncing under the hood. Along with some shocks/struts.

Can a donating member search and reference dmbmax's write up on his polyurethane mounts? I can't seem to reach him to get some from him.

Are the pole postions the tire you are referring to? I would rather have wheel hop than wheel spin.

Yes, I've got the pose positions on right now - they stick like flies on ****. Cornering and overall ride quality has greatly improved with the tire upgrade alone. But... under hard acceleration, like when playing with that local ricer, the car hops like a bunny.

So what your saying is that your RSB stopped the wheel hop??? (according to your signature anyways)

Or is there something else we might like to know?
