Default 5.0 seriously bad wheel hop. why?

I can NOT spin the ties smoothly in my 2011 5.0. Thing hops like crazy tgen feels like my whole car is messed up! Why is this? Anyone else have this problem and know how to fix it?! It would be nice if I could make this 5.0 turn the tires and make it slode on the rlad smoothly. Droves me crazy how horible the wheel hop is

Yep, what he said, put it in sport mode or in advancetrac off mode. Much less wheel hop that way. Do you have the Brembo package? I believe those tires contribute as well.

Turned everything off. Amd yes I have the brembo package. Can't beleieve the wheel hop. Would putting better lower control arms on it fix it?

New LCAs, done.

I just put these on: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/UPI-1057-R/

Then, you get to listen to the differential working all the time. It sounds coolest when turning a tight corner in a parking lot.

UMI makes good stuff, I have their double adjustable panhard bar. Somebody offered advice to a question you had, don't throw it back in their face. If you know so much about rear control arms, why the hell are you asking?
