The Prothane mounts are really stiff. I actually took mine out. They will halp with wheel hop.

fill your stock mounts with polyuratthane window sealent. works pretty good. for some reason i don't get wheel hop in my hatch, maybe you could try running it into a curb at 30 mph, then pay a drunk jamaican man 500 bucks to fix it on his 40 year old frame machine

Mount inserts. Check your ball joints too. If those are sloppy or the boots are torn and they are worn out that will do it. Next is engine alignment. Crack all the mount bolts loose including the rear, fire it up and let it idle a few mins then tighten the bolts down. Lasty get an LSD and more HP!!

I'm waiting for a guy to hook me up with a jdm d series tranny with lsd. I hear they're rare but hopefully he'll come through.

screw the expense of poly mounts do it this way.......


100% solid man! just grind them down a but so no sharp corners are on it like there in my pic. i have just my front and rear that way. my side mounts are still stock so the rattling is not an issue.

damn so many options. my car already rattles like a bitch so that polyurethane stuff just makes me worried that im gonna start getting sick just daily driving. traction bars seem decent. how much do those jimfab ones go for? no prices listed on his site.
