I recently installed the rk sport upper motor mount on my ecotec, i have the lower prothane mount to but havent installed it yet? Now to my understanding I thought the mount was supposed to reduce wheel hop off the line. mine seems to have gotten worse? anyone else have this problem?
some say it helps. but some control arm bushings will help too
Im a Xbox 360 fanboy...and damn proud of it!!
I got both upper and lower mounts along with the tranny mounts and control arm bushings . i noticed after i put the control arm bushings in u get NO wheel hop at all . so id say go with the control arm bushings there worth the cash
ok..thanks for the info guys...guess i got some wrong info previously about the mounts.
The engine mount reduces the engine movement, delivering "more power" to the wheels. I highly doubt they would reduce wheel hop. Get some Control Arm Bushings and upgrade suspension parts to do this.
Jon how are the vibes with just the upper in? I just put both upper and lower in this weekend and the initial startup is harse, and cruising at about 70, vibes my rear view. Other than that I don't mind the vibes. There not that bad. Once it gets warmer out too, that should help things I hope. Something is rattling above my head though...............
The price you pay, I guess.
Hey...my rattling with the upper in is slight...you can tell the difference when you start the car up cold and when your downshifting. its not intense though...but the way i look at it..the louder and more vibrations you have..the more power you have...
