LCA's will be the first step, most people are cured of wheel hop with just that. or if you are feeling froggy and want to spend more and do more, get the UCA's too. LCA's are usually the cheap/easy fix though, most people don't need the UCAs.

Yessir. I'm not telling you to launch your car at 5200. What I'm telling you is that in one visit at the track I went from fighting tire spin and tire shake at 3000rpms to dead hooking at 5200 just by mastering the clutch slip. Either way, the LCAs are critical to controlling wheel hop, and I'll PM you the discount code.
