Wheel hop problems , what's my options

[wayniac]

The other night I went up to the dragstrip just to spectate and ended up runnin' the car a few times. I didn't have the slicks on just the 245's. Well, needless to say I did pretty terrible on street tires 9.5's in the 1/8 mile
But when I watched the tape I noticed that I was wheel hopping pretty bad even though I didn't feel it when I was in the car.
What I'm wondering is what's my options on traction bars and such for my car to stop the wheel hop. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Upper and Lower control arms. Steeda makes some high quality ones.

How do you launch and what psi were in your rear tires? I don't see how you can get much wheel hop.

Easy.. Maximum Motorsports LCA's.. Put them on and removed the quadshocks.. I haven't experienced any noticable wheelhop in about a month since i had them put on.

Thanks for the info guys. As for my tire pressure I experimented around and was getting my best traction at around 22lbs of air and if I launched at more than 1500rpm's on the street tires I just spun the tires. Where I was wheel hopping was when I shifted into second gear. every time it wheel hopped all the way through second. But like I posted above, inside the car I didn't even notice it happening. Thanks again guys!

Here is my suggestion...

Upper and lower control arms, remove quad shocks, Strange 10 way adjustable shocks/struts, 4cyl fox body springs in front, 8cyl fox body springs in rear, and of course some sticky tires. This setup will snap your neck on launch and is still good for everyday street driving because its all adjustable. This will also lower the car quite a bit.
