Our '06 use to wheelhop like hell but now it only does on very rare occasions. We replaced every bushing known to man with Pedders but a Pedders differential insert bushing along with Pedders 5/16" drag springs should do the trick.

You will find alot better information regarding GTO's over on ls1gto.com, check it out.

The pedders kit helps a lot and another good idea is a set of drag bags. Most GTO's tend to wheel hop like crazy

Wheel hop in the GTO's can be very problematic...

The best way and coincidently least expensive way to help deal with wheel hop is a set of Drag Bags.

More information regarding Drag Bags and other GTO products can be found HERE
