do you have solid differential mounts or the stock rubber ones? Do you have a tranny or engine brace too?
I haven't checked to see if my car has wheel hop, but i have a transmission brace and solid diff mounts and my driveline feels rock solid. I was trying to decide on putting and engine torque brace and differential brace as well, but im not sure how much it would help beyond my current setup

Everything on the car is stock. No other braces. I would like to try the engine torque brace just to keep the engine steady. But the diff brace definately works. Not that I'm drag racing, I just want everthing to be tight. Banzai has polyurethane motor mounts which would be nice I imagine.

This is what solved my wheel hop:
This was after a Diff brace, RE trailing arms, RE toe links, and solid diff mounts. I'm sure the floppy stock suspension has something to do with it. If i went with some stiff springs and shocks it probably would have taken care of it, but i wouldn't be able to launch as hard.

Will work for horsepower
With enough power and street tires you can get wheel hop with all the braces and toe links and trailing arms.
Like stated the et street tires are the best to get better 60 ft times and stop wheel hop, i went from 2.0 60's to 1.52 60's.

I have all poly mounts on the transmission and engine, and have not installed the brace on the diff yet. I have it though, but am concerned in driveability of having the rear diff braced. It is a daily driver that I like to keep that way.
Is there much of a differnece other then launching in how the car acts with the solid mount diff?

Banzai Diff Brace Excellent bit of kit. But you do need to make sure all your bushes are good. ie Engine and Diff.
Still need a brace with solid mounts as it stops the diff from twisting on heavy launches.
Fitting a engine damper is not worth the bother if all your bushes are good, Its just bling.

I have the Banzai diff brace and still get wheel hop at the track... go figure..
As for the ET streets. I had the original ones on my TII powered 1st Gen and I absolutely loved them... great traction once they get broken in. I plan on getting another set once I am ready to hit the track again with my FD.
