You can add BMR's LCA's, UCA, Panhard Bar, and the instant center for the LCA's. That should eliminate all your wheel hop for around $750.

Try turning traction control off, it usually helps.

The ONLY time I've ever had wheel hop has been on a drag strip, and I'm not totally convinced since the track was kinda bumpy. But aftermarket LCAs would def help your situation. Try to get a handle on it soon. Wheel hop=broke car.

If you wanna see wheel hop, watch Steve McQueen jam that Mustang into reverse during the car chase... that's some wheel hop.
