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

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??
