Prothane tranny mounts, TTR solid upper engine mount.

That's what I have and there's no wheel hop.





Oh, and get your flamesuit on because some asshats will most likely say they never have wheel hop and that you need to learn how to drive...

since you have a 2.2 i think the ingall's would eliminate it all. My ingalls (on a SS/SC) got rid of the majority of mine and I didn't even tighten it all the way. Unless you are turboed or something, then I'd say go mounts

Careful with the wheel hop. Dunno about you 2.2 guys, but the F35 in the SS/SCs really like to crack trans cases if you make it a habit.

If youve got Tenzos on stock LS struts thats exaggerating your wheel hop, upgrading to SS ones or Koni will help a lot.

a STG2 axle on the passenger side will help.

OTTP will probably sell mounts if enough of the F23 guys say they are willing to buy them.....if you want them, SPEAK UP.

The passanger side axle is like 2 feet long. Thats why.

I have polly trans mounts and it killed all my wheel hop. It has a lot of vibration but if you can take the noise then its soooo worth it. Wheel hop can brake mounts and axles, not to mention the stress on your trans.

The tenzos are stiffer and lower than stock....the LS struts arent designed to control a spring with their rate, hence more uncontrolled wheel movements.......exaggerated power hop, tire skip over rough surfaces, floating motions over undulating roads, etc....

An ingalls wont cure axle twist/unloading......only thing that will is a stronger axle.
