Default wheel hop gone

I put in some energy motor mount inserts with a new driver side mount. All the hop is gone. I am putting in my fuel pump this weekends and also some front sway bar bushings. The inserts were one of the best mods that I have done yet.

get the prothane kit

it replaces the rubber inside the driver side mount completely.

it is $75 though. but it's MUCH stiffer than the ES kit

prothane seems to be much more thorough with all their bushings (mount inserts, trailing arms, etc) :thinking: They sure charge an awful lot though.

quality shit man...

as for what to get. i got the ES master kit and did the front and rear lca's, and the shocks and other parts too.


try the prothane kit. i haven't played with it myself, but i'm interested in seeing what others think about it.

get either a prothane total kit or an ES master bushing kit. They replace pretty much every rubber suspension bushing on the car (but the ES one doesn't replace your trailing arm bushings, i think the prothane one does). And yes, definitely makes a difference. the ride will be harsher, but the handling will be oh so sweet :thumbup:

They are not to bad it just takes some time. It took me an hour and a half to do mine because you have to loosen all the other mounts a little in order to get the back motor mount insert in.
