I've recently been accused of being rude to people that I didn't think conducted a decent search before asking a repeated question. But this time I knew that I had addressed exactly this issue within the last 24 hours. So I searched for "motor mounts wheel hop" and found:

Plus about 56 other threads.

Now, I know that you're not supposed to just ream the lazy, but are supposed to actually encourage them by doing the work for them, so here we go with the cliff notes:

yes, either full new motor mounts or mere inserts (aka roll-stopper inserts) will help reduce wheel hop.

And, to make this fun for people with AWD, I will add that it helps us, too. Maybe we don't have serious wheel-hop issues, but roll-stopper inserts have helped me shift faster and my upper IC pipe no longer threatens to pop off.

Yes they did make a big differance. I still get wheel hop, but the amount of times it occurs is greatly reduced. The car feels more solid with them on IMO.
