I had an anti hop axle on my 05 and it would still hop. Some guys can do butter smooth burnouts in stock form and some cars seem to suffer way worse. I sold my car because of it in all honesty. I wish I had some more insight for you but even when I had mine no one had a solid answer except to drop the coin on an 8.8.

I had gforce axles. Still hopped. I installed trailing arm bushings, control arm bushings, and cradle bushings. Hopped less, but still hopped. I installed the cs 8.8 kit. The hop is gone except in very wet conditions. Wheel hop is a result of poor traction. Different things on different cars attribute to poor traction. It's trial and error, and comes at a cost. Monetary, mental, physical, and of course there's the extra noises you get. Drag radials will prolly alleviate the hop, but chit starts to break. I always hear about burnouts, and don't hear much about traction. Makes me wonder what folks really want out of these cars. Back off of the throttle, and you'll get down the road.

Well I was thinking traction but I feel like I'm not solving it in covering it.. on a side note I am on h&r springs and have a little camber but I guess I'll go grab a set of radials again

I agree it has alot to do with the tires. I am on h&r springs, have all 95 bushings in the rear and the cs 8.8. Unless I dump the clutch in 2nd gear, I get wheel hop like crazy. Others with the same mods claim they can't get wheel hop if they tried. The only thing I didn't have in common with them in a thread I posted a while back, was tires, and tire sizes. I am running 245 nitto invos, and the guys with little to no hop were running 275's. I will know next summer when I switch to 275's

From reading the forums for several years it seems like every car is just a little different. I know i ran the DSS axles and it worked great, nice smooth burnouts. Then I decided i wanted to try the geforce axles, I could have sworn they shipped me stock axles, it hops so much... Yet others the geforce axles work great... there are just a lot of variables.
I am hoping that once i install my cradle bushings it helps some more too.
