Heh.. What can I do to ease up on the wheel hop? In 2nd gear if I go WOT .. boost at 12-14psi the front tires just ****in leap off the ground... happens as soon as I hit 12-14psi.. if I don't go WOT it ain't an issue..

Btw.. this happens at like 40-50mph frown.gif

I'm using an E153 w/ an MR2 VLSD and I'm on BFG G-force Sport performance summer tires.. (225's)

hey that brings up a good point ^^^ . how many of u guys have big heavy sub boxes in the hatch that really throw excessive weight onto the rear tires.
when i had my two 12's and hundred pound box i could feel the ass end sitting down and the front wheel hopping.

but i sold my stereo system a while back and i 100% can notice an increase in handling and less sitting down in the back on acceleration.

so yeah stiffer rear end def helps.

Mm yea a stiffer rear is good... I like my rears tight...

Anywho.. I got Kirks mount inserts.. so hopefully that will help a bit.. those stock mounts are shot.
