Default Does anyone know of an easy cure for wheelhop?

I just run the stock tires, but the car has a slight bit of annoying wheelhop on hard takeoff. I only fool around on the backroads, but if anyone knows of a simple to install, cheap cure, I'de sure like to hear about it.

im not sure about 05s.. but usually a set of aftermarket upper and lower rear control arms will do the trick.

Replacing the lower ones aint too tough. Do you think that would be enough, or would I have to change the upper ones too?

Isnt there some kind of 'slapper bars' for coilspring cars? I put a set on the rear leafs of my 69, no more wheel hop, didnt change the way it drove, was inexpensive, and I still think they look cool. All they do is put a rubber snubber on the end of a lever bolted to the housing- if control arm bushings compress at all, the snubber hitts and stops it right there...harder bushings will help too, but ride will suffer...I'm pretty sure I saw a set for gm F-bodied cars with coil springs...
