So from what i know, if you think about it, what new motor mounts will BASICALLY do is reduce the amount of wasted energy your motor produces by stiffening it's connections to the chassis as the regular use of motor mounts is to soften the force that your motor puts out on the chassis and makes it so that the passengers don't feel it as much (sorry for the run on sentence). That being said, you'll theoretically lose less of your power with new mounts and conserve more of the power to the wheels? (correct me if im wrong). anyways, to answer your question from my understandings, you should not really increase traction. you need new wheels to do that. nothing else touches the ground (or should) so no matter what you do, you need to get new wheels to increase traction. If you increase power, youll get more wheel spin with the same wheels. you could try to accelerate slower? :P but in the end you just need new wheels, nothing else you can really do :(. Also, new motor mounts would DEFINITELY make your car rattle more. About the wheel hop, i think you need to focus more on suspension parts that are closer to your tires. replacing the bushings for your control arms and whanot should help? but i really dont know if replacing motor mounts would do as much as you want them to.
