Engine dampers are supposed to help prevent that.
Engine dampers won't do anything to prevent wheel hop.. it's all in your suspension. Stiffer springs and traction bars will be your best bet.
Dude you are a jack ***. http://www.lightningmotorsports.com/...ing_stiffy.htm

dude, that site also says they help you drift better too

seriously, they help with a lot of things, wheel hop is not one of them.

Drifting – helps reduce shock loads when wheels gain traction.
And when they say that, they mean a car that is set up for difting.

Edit: And no where dose it say that it helps you drift better.

motor mounts or motor mount inserts would be the prime way to prevent wheel hop.

Make sure your springs and bushingsare in good shape and not worn out. I'd even look into a poly masterkit.Then research shock absorbers. Good shocks will help control wheelhop. Traction bars are also designed SPECIFICALLY to control wheelhop. In addition to the suspension being addressed, look into ways to stiffen your chassis. Chassis flex will allow wheels to hop even if the suspension is set up perfectly. Any kind of flex or play in the chassis or suspension could be a culprit when it comes to wheelhop.

In my case I go around corners and as im cornering my wheels will seem to jump what the hell is that is that even considered wheel hop? It happens alot over little bumps my car seems to jerk to the left or right depending on which way im cornering as soon as i hit a bump while turning my car hops around....

I think that maybe more of a tread issue. I'm sure some suspension work would help though.

maybe if you got some springs that are actually designed for performance cornering?






just kidding man...but not really.... s-techs are not designed with performance in mind and are only in existance to lower your car on stock shocks.
