The first thing most people will recommend you do to fix wheel hop is aftermarket lower control arms. They help plant your tires alot better than the stock ones, particularly on launches such as at the drag strip.
There are other components that can help as well like an adjustable panhard rod. But like I said, the lower control arms are a good buy. Feel free to check out our website, we are a sponsor of this site, and have a nice sale on BMR suspension products right now to save you some money if you decide to go this route [img]smile.gif[/img]

When I put my new tires and wheels on my wheelhop was hellaticious. Did lower control arms, panhard bar, poly tranny mount and torque arm bushing and I can lauch at redline if I want and never once get hop.00\' firebird v6 5spd<br />201rwhp ---- 230 rwtq<br />\"Everyday I grow stronger...and further from you.\"<br />WARNING: Do not take any of my comments seriously unless they are technical in nature and then only at your own riskComment

Why is it so hard to believe? There are a LOT of cars around with ALOT more power launching very high RPM's, with no problems. All it takes is the right suspension parts.<a href=\"http://www.fullthrottlev6.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.fullthrottlev6.com</a> THE SOURCE!Comment

When I got LSD it helped a little... by spreading the power between 2 wheels.
But lcas, then the othe stuff mentioned above...Comment
