ok im getting horrible wheel hop, all threw second and third gear, looking into motor mount and stuff like that but someone mentioned to me it might be my tein setup is 2 stiff up front and causing wheel hop.

so i just wanna see what most of you are running right now im 8 from stiffest front and back.

thanks

Teins aren't double adjustable, are they?
If they are go full firm on compression in the rear, full soft on rebound in the rear. Full soft on rebound in the front, full soft on compression in the front.
If not, you want full firm in back to reduce wieght transfer, and full soft in front.
Start there and work twoards the other end until you get best results. If the car is 'funny' at the end of the track, go softer in the rear. Go step by step firmer in the front until your 60' times get worse.
Motor mounts are what is really going to help with that hop, though.

ES inserts. Cheap, and effective. PureLude sells them (next gear)

Not much at all. No difference in the car while moving, or above 1000 rpm.
Rattles more at idle. If it bugs you, give it a little gas at stoplights.
