i just went out today to test them with it dry out and i did get a little wheel hop my solid motor mounts worked better i dont know if it is just because they aren't broken in yet but i still like them way better then the solid mounts because they barely give any vibs

 

I am going to give my honest unbiased opinion on the Stage 1 mount.

After installing the mount and starting the car up, I did notice slight vibrations. The vibs were small and they weren't enough to make any rattling noises. After i took the car off the ramps in reverse I did notice some vibs, but very minimal. After driving around for awhile I realized i could not feel any vibrations basically once I let the clutch out in 1st. At a 60 mph cruise there were no vibrations, only a small amount of cabin noise, but nothing annoying or loud at all. Well I got the mounts in and even though I had my winter tires on I did a 2k drop and I had no wheel hop. It was a good feeling to have a car with no wheel hop. The mount was very easy to install with few tools. I am very please with this and cannot believe GM didn't have the engineers to figure something like this out. Hats off to OTTP. Thank you for making a good product for an affordable price.

 

hey OTTP, any more updates on the next set shipments? i understand you guys are busy, but the weather is to nice right now to hotrod around and have to worry about wheel hop

 

Pm me your name and I'll tell you how many people are infront of you.
What stage do you have and whats your tire pressure at?
Thanks for the kind words!
I have more alot mounts due in any day, I'm thinking tuesday but it depends upon customs. As always as soon as they come in I will ship them.

 

Wow your up early.

 

I normally am. I was up at 5 am this morning..... I had a family members car to work on in the 20 degree weather

 

Lucky you. Thats sounds like fun

 

any updates?

 

i have the stage 2 mounts and i have goodyear eagle gt tires and they are at 45 psi

 

wowzer 45psi

 

it says to put 50 lbs in on the tire

 

50psi is the max pressure.... set them at 32-34psi and you won't have any more hop.

 

are you saying 32-34 psi for daily driving or just at the track

 

32 psi is a standard number for tire pressure on almost all tires. Yes daily driving.

 

Daily driving and thats what most manufacturers recommend. Track would be 22-24 for a good place to start.

 

ok ill try it tomorrow

 

PLEASE specify that by "track" at 22-24 psi you mean "drag strip". Someone hits a roadcourse at those pressures and bad things could happen...

 

Thanks captain obvious, were talking about accelerating from a dead stop so that is referencing a "drag stripe" situation. BE REAL!

 

Apparently you don't roadcourse or autocross much, where accelerating from a low speed corner exit can be an issue with a heavy foot.

 

I don't road race ever. But yes you are correct I should have been more clear.

 

Forget it man.. I don't autocross, But I can hardly believe your car or 95% of the cobalts on here have enough power to blow the tires loose in second gear from a roll, where wheel hop could occur.

 

Here is one for you captian obvious when starting an auto-x your starting from a dead stop just like at the drag.

@Fast are you saying that with around 40 PSI and these mounts we will still hop? (I run 40 psi when I auto-x)

 

@40 psi if you drop the clutch you will get some axle tramp. slightly different then hop.

 

Got anything to fix the axle tramp too? Never heard of it so I always thought it was hop, I usaly dump around 3k to launch for auto-x.

 

What exactly is the difference between axle tramp. & wheel hop? Can they both have damaging effects to your engine/drivetrain? Because even after installing these mounts and putting my summer tires on, I still have some sort of hopping going on and my car is basically stock (drop in K&N filter). Oh, and I was able to get the mount in correctly btw, and everything seems to be ship shape.

On a side note, I noticed some oil residue on the underside of the tranny when I was installing these (It didn't look like trans. fluid, but did appear to be coming from the tranny). I think I already know the answer, but is that normal? Has anyone else noticed this? You can see it in the pics I posted a few posts back.
