How to Eliminate Wheel Hop

Iv done some searches with not much informaiton. but a few of my buddys said that getting different mounts or something about bushings will make my car not wheel hop as much and get better traction...

If this is true could sumbodey help me out on what to get and where to find!

Thanks.

ingalls didn't really do anything for me... got the prothane mounts, and they helped alot, but still hopped... put on the sportlines, all hop was gone.

depending on how heavy your audio system is, your taking weight off the drive wheels which could be causing your hop.

I have a good way. Sell your cobalt and buy something that has AWD. BTW, search is your friend. Go to the search field and type wheel hop. You will get tons of hits. Good luck.

OTT took their rotated mounts off the site for now, you'll have to wait for those . What you linked to is a bushing .

I guess they are making billet mounts so that they don't have to mess around with people sending in their cores .
