VA parts suggestions

Im about to buy poly mounts from HIMNI racing, a differential brace and a transmission brace from banzai racing for my daily driver FD. sometimes i get that annoying wheel hop and im trying to eliminate it.

Im I on the right track ? Im i buying the right parts or do i need to install more parts to help eliminate this problem?? Thanks

Rear trailing arm bushings? Have you checked the other bushings on the rear wheels? How many miles on your car?

All those braces will make driving the car annoying as hell. I know I had a tranny braces before and I hated it. I couldn't even have normal conversation inside the car.

For wheel hope, like stated above, start with the trailing arm.

Let's start out with a little background... How much power is the car making? What type of tires are you using?

As hondasr4kids pointed out, going straight for the braces is probably not the best approach.

Thanks guys. I haven't checked the trailing arm bushings or the rear bushings at all. That would be a good start. but trailing arm swap sounds like a good idea. The car has 100 thou miles.

The car should be making close to stock power or less due to the fact that everything under the hood is stock except for the 3" exhaust. I"m running 18 inch wheels/w summer tires still in good shape but could use new ones.

I know for a fact that the engine mounts are gonski! they were/ are saturated with oil last time I checked.

Still, If you were the owner of a stock daily driver looking forward to make atleast 350hp+ in the near future. WHAT mods would you make to the REAR suspension that would take care of the wheel hop and improve performance from the hole shot?

A little help?
