Default Wheel Hop

Hey guys, I have a 2000 WS6, manual. I am getting a lot of wheel hop when accelerating really hard/spinning the wheels. What is the best way to limit/prevent wheel hop?

Thanks for any help!

Tubular lower control arms and torque arm will go a long ways to curing WH. Followed by LCA relocation brackets.

Thanks for your help! I just ordered the torque arm and lower control arms from Spohn.

I had really bad wheel hop and the way I cured it was with the adjustable tubular LCA's with the one rod end from Spohn (didn't even get relocation brackets). I've only had them on for a week now but I have not had any wheel hop at all, car launches good now. Also did the SFC's too, don't know if that helped but I know it didn't hurt. Car feels a lot stronger and rides way better than before.

My wheel hop is finally gone! Either the LCA relocation brackets fixed it or the Strange SA rear shocks. I suspect it was the LCA Bkts, but I put them in at the same time so who knows.
