I'm tired of the wheel hop on my car. ie. hard launches, wet roads etc.. I hate always riding the clutch out and sometimes I like the tires to spin but hate that damn hop. Sounds like crap too! I'm running 33PSI in my front tires now. If I lower it to 31 or 30 will it reduce the chance of The 5th Gen Hop?

Nope. But cattman's motor mounts should.

Someone is installing this week on his 5th gen. He said he was going to post a review! I hope its all good!

try stiffer shocks too..
mine used to hop like **** with stock shocks and eibachs..
after swapping to Tokicos...it's gotten little bit better..

PhatGuy

Cool! Thanks for that info!

What exactly cause the wheel hop? And what the hell is that sound when hoppin' along? I swear it is the FSTB banging on the hood!

My friend has the Cattman (place racing) motor mounts in his 4th gen and they do eliminate wheel hop, but they make the car vibrate a lot more and increase noise slightly.

PhatGuy

Ya I've been hear about that as well. I hear that the vibration in the wheel is only when the car is at a stand still. How would it increase noise? I wonder if there is any difference in the characteristics between the 4th gen and 5th gen mounts once installed?
I'm trying to find someone who has them installed on a 5th gen.
