Does anyone have any experience with these guys? My 2004 GTO has wheel hop so bad I dont even drive the car much. I have 18 inch rims and regular low profile tires.
All I want to do is a burnout once in a while without worrying about the damn gas tank falling out.

I have never had any wheelhop on mine but with the stock springs and shocks the rear squats too much so I put Koni adjustable rear shocks and the Pedders drag springs which are stiffer than stock and about 3/4" higher. It hooks like an animal now.

Joe, I have the Harrop diff cover, Harrop poly cradle bushings, SLP sway bar and poly endlinks. I still have wheel hop pretty bad depending where the rpms are when the clutch is dropped.
Another solution to cut this down is the BMR air bags. Some guys over on LS1GTO.com are having some success with them. They are like $100 a set from BMR direct. They stiffen the ride quality when fully inflated, but reduce wheel hop a lot from what I have read on them!

Yes I'm doing the BMR drag bags (suppose to be here Mon you know how that BS goes). Supposly these can take you into the 1.6's-1.7's. I can't get myself to put drag springs on only for the reason I do not want to raise or lower the rear. I think the rear looks perfect the way it sits now. Of course if the drag bags don't help out like I plan for them to I may have to get some Pedders drag springs.
