I've got serious wheel hop and I've been reading on here that motor mounts will help with this. Is there anything else I should add while I'm doing this?
 
Upgrading and setting up the suspension correctly will help to reduce wheel hop as well.

Get the Prothane moter mounts, they do the job perfectly.
 
What do you recommend for supsension upgrades? I don't want to spend top dollar, yet I don't want shocks from Wal-Mart! :)

i guess he means adjustable shocks...

btw guys..would i need top adjust the shocks to a softer setting up front and a harder setting in the back for reducing wheelspin for drag racing?

stiff motor mount inserts simply help rid of wheelhop. There wont be a huge diference with them. Here is a list of things to do to help rid of wheelhop (listed in order from most effective to least effective)
1. LSD
2. New/sticky tires
3. stiff suspension
4. motor monunt inserts
5. less horsepower (just joking :p )

I have done all of the above (except for #5) and I can honestly say I have decent traction. :thumb:

Yeah, that would be the best way to tackle the problem with weight transfer.... :thumb:
