Honestly what we need is motor mount inserts, radius rod and control arm bushings. That will totally help eliminate any wheel hop.

For track purposes only or daily street driving as well?

I am gonna try some spring isolators this summer and see if they help at all. Basically just put a rubber grommet in between the coils of the rear springs while the car is lifted in the air. They make them for trucks I think to limit suspension travel. I would think this would remove just about any significant weight transfer. I wouldnt wanna drive like that on the street tho, I'm sure it'll ride like hell.

I had cut some polyurethane blocks for the rear springs some time ago. Never got to try them out though.

Anyone want them??
