3m "window weld" 100% polyurethane caulk is what I have heard of being used. Basically turns your motor mounts into poly mounts with a rubber center.

Re: Fixing Wheel Hop

you could put slicks on your car as well.

Motorcycle cop pulls up next to me on UNI and says "Want to race?"
Me- "I don't think you would stand a chance."
Cop says "probably not" and drives off.

Re: Fixing Wheel Hop

Prothane motor mounts and Groundcontrols/AGX's cured my wheel-hop. A LSD will help a lot too.

Re: Fixing Wheel Hop

I fixed my wheel hop permanently. I sold my '97 GST and got and 99 GSX. I used prothanes and had a Phantom Grip and still ended up going thru 4 tranny's due to the violent wheel hop. I think Brian (Slowwhite) went thru even more tranny's than I did. The GST was a great hiway car but sucked for track racing.
