Yea i know the corvette guys shatter their LSD's. They have little lsd case braces you can buy, but I hear if the wheel hop is bad enough it still cracks the casing.

Well if anyone does happen to break/crack anything from wheel hop..let us know! :O

solid bushings on the subframe and diff will eliminate it. i have a 300zx which are NOTORIOUS for really bad wheel hop.

I had a 92 Talon AWD that would get nasty wheel hop in the fronts before I replaced the engine/tranny mounts with solid polyurethanes. After that I could shock the drivelive as hard as I could and it would be nothing but smooth tire squealin.

My 350 gets it bad too, especially if I shift hard into 2nd on a wet road. Pretty annoying actually. That guy in the video might break an axle or diff if he keeps doing that.

I wish ingalls would release something to fix this, I had a ingalls etd on my last car and I could feel the difference

True. But I had 75A Innovative mounts on my RSX which are pretty heavy duty with a torque damper by Ingalls and I hated it! the launch was perfect even with street tires. But for a daily drive I couldnt stand the vibrations after about 4 months. I guess you got to ask yourself what you want out of your car. Although the good thing about the torque damper was I could install it and unistall it before and after the track but the mounts still tranferred a lot of the vribrations to the cabin. I know a bunch of guys with only the torque damper and they say its just as bad as having the 65A mounts or inserts.

To me the vibrations were not to bad at all, the etd def made the throttle response better.
