Default Wheel hop after installing Motor Mounts?

So I purchased these motor mounts

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=290421944244

So far I have only installed the front mount and I get TONS of wheel hop now. Im running raceland coilovers if that matters

I was going to install the rear mount but now im worried that it will only make things worse. I really dont feel like spending all that time to install the new mount to just have to go back to stock later

Any Ideas? Thanks

this might have somethign to do with the fact that now the rear mount is bouncing around like crazy since the front is so stiff!!!!
all the other mount threads say not to install just one but do the whole set! however ptuning recently just started making a poly mount and they only offer the front....so i dono.

I paid $95 and a full replacement motor mounts are usually stiffer than just inserts. My girlfriend got the ES inserts for her SRT-4 and I dont feel they are stiff enough, so I got full replacements

I got the 40 or 60 dollar ES replacement set from Dezod. No wheel hop here after full install. I can definitely feel the motor and trans more in the wheel/pedals. I like that.

Motor doesn't budge when under load.

Just wanted to do an update.

I installed the rear mount, what a PITA!!!! But, all wheel hop is gone, the tires just spin. The cabin shakes like crazy but the car isn't my daily so I don't care. If it was my daily I would honestly think twice about doing full replacement mounts.
