Default Wheel Hop drivers me crazy!

Any suggestions on how I can get rid of wheel hop? I have Ford power upgrade, CAI, pipes, and ProCal tuner. I am going for more horses this week (SCT program, 2.6 pulley, new spark plugs). Hell I hate to think how bad it will get. Before you say, "Learn to drive" I do ease off of it early and shift. Second does not do it that bad. I hate to lift!! What I mean is, is there a bolt on mod out there that helps?

Hello, as other have suggested lower control arm, upper control arm and relocation brackets will stop it. More the lowers and relocation brackets then the upper. They all are necessary to get the most out of your car.

I do agree on the lower control arms. I just had some put on mine and it has taken away 95 percent of the wheel hop. It is not nearly as bad as it used to be.

157db - Do you have any pictures of your car being lowered in the rear? I was thinking of doing that with mine to level it out more. How is ride compared to stock? I lowered the rear of my old 05 Mustang GT and it made a good improvement on handling through corners and it hurt the ride some but not to the point where I wanted to put back the stock springs.
