Ingalls is just a bandaid. The rotated trans mounts solve the problem.
This is straight from the man
"The rotated mounts cure a 17 degree angle at ride height between trans output axle center line and suspension knuckle axle center line. The angle fore/aft affects power transmission and results in hop. The cv joint already has to deal with vertical movement with normal suspension travel, forcing it to do this with the transmission forward of the suspension is the issue"

Get solid tranny and motor mounts...unless you have any fillings in your teeth cause they will rattle out...Oh and it won't solve your problem either. Listen to Black SS/SC 06 seems to use his head for more than a hatrack, get the OTTP rotated mount(s) and call it a day.

I have seen one video of the rotated mounts where the driver peels out and one where they get hop for 2 seconds solid.
They're all bandaids. One is cheaper than the other, but if you can live with the vibrations then they both work pretty much the same. Until I get a set of the rotated mounts, that's my story and I'm sticking with it.

Once you understand what it is, and what causes it, you will know how to fix it.

I also believe lowering springs help eliminate wheel hop. If I am wrong someone please correct me. I know it doesn't SOLVE the problem, but I really do think that lowering the car makes it harder to have wheel hop. It could be all in my head, but I swear my eibach lowering springs helped with the wheel hop.
mp cobalt - the rotated trans mounts from ottp will solve your problems for sure, especially if you have lowering mounts.
I personally am using the ingalls td, it was the craze before the rotated mounts and all of that good stuff but to be honest with you, with all the mods in my sig I really don't have wheel hop, I have wheel spin. However this could be because I am limiting my boost with hptuners and raising it throughout the rpms. Maybe I will take the car out when its a little nice and I get home and put it at 100% boost and see if I hop around like a rabit lol.

stage 1 will be fine with those mods. you can always get the other mount later on if you want to upgrade anyway. i got the stage 2 mounts cause im prepping the car to go turbo
stage 1 is really not worth buying id say go stage 2 from the get cause you ll propably end up getting it soonr or later anyways go my buddy got these a few weeks ago and he says that dont vibrate and the almost eliminate wheel hop

Read more, wheel hop is caused by many things, 1 thing will not fix it all. Many of the articles found on google, do state firmer bushings will help, but there are other items also, to be evaluated.



I like my bandaid
