The pictures are not of my car, but one they show a pinion snubber installed in a FC.

Can one of you measure the rubber part of the snubber for me? I need to know if the one at work will work well.

I lot of folks have used this one;

Ha thats funny i work at O'reilly's and we carry Dorman. Sad part is that part is no longer at the warehouses....

dtss eliminators
delrin subframe mounts
snubber
sphericals
ind camber adjusters
comps mounts w/ extra preload
adjustable toe links
decent coilovers
perfect pinion angles

and it still hops at launch (not badly but it's there).  Could go solid but that's not for a street car.

The above is one of the main reasons I'm going 8.8.

my car hops BAD when its wet, and a little bit in dry (with kumho V710's).
only thing on joel's list i dont have is known pinion angle, but i'm gonna set that shortly.

What is the snubber sitting against on the diff?

Yeah -it stops the diff from moving

[Copper280z]

I know what it does, I just wondered where was the best place to put it. I think I've seen people put it a few different places, the best place is clearly as far out on the pinion as possible.

My car hops BAD, any time there's any tire spin.

Does anybody make poly rear diff mounts or is delrin the only game in town? The mazdaspeed ones are WAY too expensive.

Mazdaspeed or Delrin. You could try stiffening up you stock mounts DIY style.

Just ordered the delrin, hopefully they're not too obnoxious.
