std 200 ps suffers with axle tramp and wheel hop, so 260hp will only amplify it.

dont argue just give in and by the mounts :P

At a minimum try the engine mount torque insert.  I found that along with the WALK worked very well at eliminating wheel hop.

P.S.  Nice modding list...

1)AP racing 4 pots

3)Pagid Blues for the track
4)2 piece rotors
5)Hel lines (I should be picking up this brake bundle from Dave in the next couple of days)
6)Motul RBF

I have been unfortunate enough to hold these brakes in my house, really wish i hadn't because it instantly made me want to ditch my new set up. They are made out of maltezer's, its unbelievable how light they are.  :congrats:
