I got PTP's Kicker mount installed a while ago and have been tweaking it to the best position. I believe I have it dialed in perfect. I cannot get any wheel hop on launches or shifting hard into 2nd. Hell, I can floor it on a really crappy, uneven, bumpy road, and the tires stay planted (they usually hop all over, forcing me to let off)
How to install.
1) Get the car in the air (just the passenger side will work, but it's cramped)
2) Locate the 3 bolt holes located right behind the axle. Line up the mount and hand-tighten all 3 bolts, torque down.
Bottom 2 bolts:
You can kinda see the top one here:
3) Locate the 2 bolt holes on the bottom of the sub frame, and bolt up the smaller bracket hand tight (you will be pulling it off in a minute)
(I already have the 1/4" hole drilled in this pics, see step 7 for more details)
4) Once the small bracket is held in place, swing the arm into place and see how the heim joint lines up with the bracket. You want it to go just past the hole on the mount, so when you tighten it down, it actually pushes the bottom of the motor slightly foward, (like 1/4-1/2", just enough to see it move)
5) Now that you have the arm at the right length, screw the locking nut down to hold it in place (you will still need to be able to rotate the heim joint a little) Unbolt the smaller bracket from the subframe, and attatch it to the heim joint with the included spacers and nut.
6) Push the arm into place, line up the 2 holes on the sub frame and tighten that b**** down. Almost done!
7) Get a 1/4" drill bit, and drill right where the small hole is on the small bracket. Insert the inculded nut/bolt, fully tighten the locking nut and you're done! No more wheel hop!
