Since Ive installed my RR-racing front and rear MM inserts and the AWR side MM's Ive noticed my wheel hop drop drastically. But I still get a slight shutter/hop when excelerating. Im currently running my MSP on the stock suspension. Im planning on getting either the Tein S-Tech's or the Eibach Sportlines. Will getting stiffer/lower springs help even more with wheel hop or should I also look at getting different front struts also?

I can't really answer your question, but if you give me until next week I will let you know. I have the Tein S-techs, RR-Racing front and rear mounts, and the AWR side mounts sitting in my living room waiting for a chance to get on a friends lift so we can knock it out. I will post pics and initial driving impressions once I've got it all finished.

yes the lower your car is to the ground and stiffer the springs are, the less wheel hop/better launches you will experience

So which spring would be better in a from launch stand point? I know the Tein give the car a rake look and lower the front more than the back, but I also know they arent as stiff as the sportlines. Ill be buying my springs on friday and I know Eibach doesnt make the sportlines anymore so if the sportlines will be better then I think I will go with those. I happen to like the rake look the Tein S-Techs give tho...

The inserts were pretty easy to get in. Getting the MM's out is a pain tho... But the ride in cabin vibrates like a mofo, compaired to the stock MM's.

That's why I made my own rear motor mount insert ;)

You also may be feeling clutch chatter. I have that now... when accelerating in 1st letting off the clutch. I thought it was wheel hop, but it's not.
