If you are fitting WALK alone at this stage, it would be helpful to know how you find the difference. Many of us fitted WALK at the same time as other suspension mods.

WALK & a full set of VF Engineering mounts has totally stopped wheel hop for me. They were fitted together so I can't comment on which was more effective but this combination works  :happy2:

Lower and top two engine mounts are are an astounding modification if you don't mind the extra NVH. The hop is eliminated and wheel spin is reduced to.
Next to a remap this is the most noticeable/best mod I have ever done to a MK5..........  :happy2:

 :happy2:

Imho no chance without full engine mounts to solve wheel hop. The WALK will complement the engine mounts.
LSD and stickier tyrers will further improve traction. No spinning, no wheel hop.
Toyo R1-R and Yokohama AD08 are pretty sticky when warm up.

That's right - It's how the whole package adds up together and how progressively you use your right foot is also a component.
