Default Trans mount

I just got my driveline and rear xmember out to do the clutch. I was surprised at how soft the differential mount was on the rear xmember. I wonder if somthing stiffer would help cure the wheel hop problem. Has any one installed a eurethane rear mount like the one offered by Vette Brakes? Opinions???

Lots of discussion on here about this. Pfadt makes a nice rear poly mount!

Lots of other items to consider in the equation too.

- Coil Overs
- Higher side wall rear tires
- Tranny Brace

I have the brace installed from DTE

can you install in the mount from Pfadt in addition to the brace or just one or the other?
