Is that 500$ kit the one you want to get rid of wheel hop? I just want to make sure before I go ahead and start placing an order.
Also.
The pinion support brace..... Is it worth it?

All input would be great. Thanks

I'll sell you the pinion brace out of my for sale section ad if you really want it. Save you some cash.
What year is your v?
Ultimately if you're going to kill it 100% you still won't get it done with all of this stuff. If you want to improve it 80%..
AWH Bushings, the diff bushing, and a single side of the axle duo will get you there the most cost effective manner possible.
If you will go to the track or launch on good pavement at all, IMO, DO NOT BUY THE PINION BRACE. If you're going to be doing highway pulls and not worry about launching, then it still has minimal value at best.

I guess results vary, because I have completely eliminated wheelhop with the GForce axles. The only time I still get some is in very wet conditions, but nothing can stop an IRS car from hopping under those circumstances.
I have run the full anti-wheelhop kit with a pinion brace in the past and it is a waste of time and it will transfer tons of vibration and weird noise into the cabin of the car. All of our diffs whine already, so when you basically tie that to the frame you are going to get obnoxious noises.
If you spend the cash on these axles (both of them), you should be set. Of course, the axles won't erase any damage that was done to the diff case prior to their installation, so if you wheelhopped your car before, the diff could still fail in the future, it will just take a hell of a lot longer than without the axles.

Wheel hop can be controlled for free, just modulate the right pedal
Seriously though, I have the "inexpensive" single Hendrix axle and Spectre Werks subframe bushings, and they kill a good bit of it. In my experience the worst was in the rain, this combo has significantly reduced that.

Yep. I paid $550 for my set about a year ago. It's a truly cost effective way to eliminate wheelhop and give yourself more peace of mind.

I have the G-Force kit in my car and I have NEVER experience wheel-hop. In my opinion it is the first thing EVERYONE should do when buying these cars. There is absolutely no reason not to.

There have been a couple of reports of guys using just the one axle and still have about 20% of the wheelhop left. I have heard of one person with just the one axle that completely eliminated hop, but most still have some.
The entire point of buying both axles (and not being a cheap *******) is that they were designed with different materials than stock and much different diameters so that the harmonics of wheelhop will be broken up. If you are only using one axle, you aren't getting the full effect.

I had one axle - I had hop still in the rain... Both axles still don't eliminate hop in the rain.
One axle provided enough anti hop/traction to allow a blown diff on a 1-2 shift... Maybe if I had both done then I could have blown the diff on the launch. Woe is me.
