I know that for the rsx alot ot of guys are running the ingals dammper and it help to eliminate some of the wheel hop that the rsx suffers from. When couppled with the energy suspention motor mounts it pretty much eliminates wheel hop all together.

So to answer your question, yes they do help.

If you're worried about wheel hop, stock mounts aren't doing you any favors. I wouldn't bother with the damper until you get some better mounts. You can damp all you want, but the engine will still be flopping around with the stock squishies.

If hasport makes mounts for your car, get them. I have some Hasport mounts in my crx with a B16 and they are pretty stiff. Don't have much wheel hop, although I don't have much torque.
