Im looking at Sac City corvettes or Pfadt Tranny mounts to help reduce wheel hop. Im getting real bad wheel hop at the track

any of you have any suggestions? The pfadt looks very well made.

Thanks

 

I have pfadt motor mounts and used it with their rear diff mount in the past, it worked great... their prices are a little steeper than what they used to be but I prefer that design... what kind of tires and pressure do you run at the track?... you might try lowering the pressure a bit

 

I was going to go with the motor mounts as well. Did it cure wheel hop? What differences did you feel after the install? Was the install hard?

i tried at 22 psi and 18psi. It hopped harder at 18 psi.
Tires are Nitto NT05R

 

I have both the Pfadt diff. and the ECS trans brace, and it still hops a bit. This' on crap tires, and I was hoping with tires such as you have would help.

 

yeah I doubt tires are your problem, nt05r's are great and at 22psi they should have been fine... you might look at shocks as well but I would probably start with the motor/diff mounts... after I got rid of the crap tires I had and put the pfadt mounts on my car it hasn't hopped since... do you have headers?... if so you will most likely have to loosen them from the heads and just let them hang in order to get clearance for the motor mounts, I don't think you would have to completely remove them... the diff mount is pretty simple and straightforward but I do suggest loading the pads with the shims they provide to make sure the pads are sandwiched in between the cradle pretty good, if you don't get it in there tight it can actually pivot back and forth like a see saw and then it's not doing what you want it to do

 

I am also running the ECS trans brace.

 

Thanks, I had no idea the tranny mount came with shims. I understand that it should be tight. What are the shims made of and do you put them against the rubber feet?

I am running ARH longtubes. Im probably going to tackle the motor mounts once i finally do the tick master slave. Gotta loosen the headers too for that one.

 

Just installed a SacCity. It is definitely a quality piece and at a reasonable price.

That sounds very suspect - I would call them to verify this message as it smells like an attempt at identity theft - maybe someone hacked their customer list. There is absolutely no need for any vendor to get that level of information from a customer. Did the email address you received the message from appear to be legitimate?

 

I called them and they said its the normal procedure ..maybe cause im in Canada...

anyways will post pics when i receive them.

 

should have asked if they wanted a stool sample too... I would just buy them through a vendor, screw all that nonsense

 

Its too late for that...i didnt know some of our vendors had pfaft stuff...

 

When I mounted my Pfadt diff brace, I didn't like the metal to metal contact, so I used cut pieces of silicone laminate (left over intake connectors) to fit between the mount and the rear suspension. I also shimmed the ends (rubber pads) so they were tight against the spring. After installing the brace, the car felt as if I'd added a bigger rear sway bar, because it seemed more flat through corners without any added harshness.

 

I got the AFE motor and transaxle mount off Amazon, and LOVE them. I had wheel hop issues as well and this is a huge improvement in that, as well as the directness of the drivetrain to the ground. I'd also recommend picking up beefier anti sway bars.

I can give you my AFE sales person's name and contact info. I did not have any issues like you are reporting about social media and identity documentation.
