Cure for Wheel hop!
I have found a cure for the dreaded wheel hop with our IRS Cobras:
Nitto 315/35/17 Drag radials on 10.5 inch wheels
IRS Brace
IRS Crossbrace
Poly Front and rear differential bushings
It was a bitch to install all this stuff, but it is well worth the trouble. I can now launch hard and I have no wheel hop and no spinning. The tires just bark a little and then it is all traction.

RE: Cure for Wheel hop!
that cross bar did nothing for you, the stock one is just fine.
cheapest way to cure wheel hop is get good tires. get a brace just to be safe, thats it. i never had any hop with 315s on the stock wheels and stiffer springs. now i have every mod that there is for the IRS (except the cross bar, thats for earlier cobras) and its still dont hop, just really really stiff.
