Urethane motor mount inserts helped my wheel hop a lot. And its a cheap fix. You can pick up a set for around $25.

Any traction bars made for a 92-96 Prelude? My wheels hop like bunnies. Especially when I hit 2nd too hard.

I have never seen any, but I know full race does a lot of custom work you could give them a call. It would probably cost a fortune but they might make you some.

Re: Massive Wheel Hopping

if you are good at fabbing you can build you own traction bars they might not work as good as the other one but unless you are pushing over 300hp you should be fine with polyurethane mounts and a homemade traction bar
