The best thing you guys can do is drive a car that has it and compare for yourselves.

I guess you don't know what the "N" stands for in NVH?

What was BMW thinking? Making a car that couldn't launch on a wet road with the nannies off?
I can see why many of us have zero issues with hop or DCT issues. BMW must go crazy with warranty claims they KNOW in their gut is from abuse.
Guys, nothing wrong with picking at a car's flaws, but asking it to do what it wasn't and shouldn't be designed to do seems a bit odd.
Not saying you don't get wheel hop in other circumstances, and not saying this isn't a great product. I'm saying this is a bad example of what one has to do to get wheel hop.

I can produce wheel hop in this car in situations that the car was most certainly designed for and don't remotely constitute abuse.
I like this product. Wheel hop really happens, broken diff bolts really happens and there is room for improvement. It's been well explained in a logical manner that makes sense to me (I am an engineer if that helps). While solid diff bushings would get you most of the way there, this product still provides significant improvement from what I can tell.
The issue for me is the price. I'd be in at half price.
