Tuned200 Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I went out this morning and it was raining...So, with a big smile, I decide to work on my launch tech. and make a few attempts to take off quick in the wet...I got alot of wheel hop on the front pass side. Is this normal? I have s stech springs and sti wheels with 225/45/17 kumho mx tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RochNY91TSI Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 It's normal; stiffer suspension components (like motor mounts or other bushings) will help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beanboy Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Not only wheelspin, but when the turbo hits just right and the wheels are turned and have plenty of traction, there is a hint of torque steer. oh noes! -B http://www.standardshift.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuned200 Posted October 28, 2006 Author Share Posted October 28, 2006 It's normal; stiffer suspension components (like motor mounts or other bushings) will help how much vibration is there after doing mounts? also, since this thread is open, got any links to mounts i can look at:icon_wink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RochNY91TSI Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Something from here would be good if they ever make them for the LGT: http://www.energysuspension.com/pages/subaru.html I haven't done them in the legacy (as maybe there aren't any available? I'm not seeing much in googling it), but in my Talon, there was quite a bit more vibration and in my old Nissan Spec V there wasn't too much more. Vibration can vary from car to car depending on how well balanced the engine is to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zmarko Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 but in my Talon, there was quite a bit more vibration +1. In my talon, I did 2 of the 4 motor/tranny mounts and I thought there was too much vibration so I removed them. I won't ride in my friends Talon because he has all 4 done, and it's awful.....at idle it's like holding a jackhammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, mine's not quite that bad. I did all 4 motor mounts and removed the balance shafts. The only thing that I notice for vibration is that the oil filter likes to back itself off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
