Try the relocation brackets, but I don't think they'll do that much. The last alternative you have is to get an adjustable torque arm.

Good stiff rear shocks will help too. If your car is a 98 with the original than you need new shocks.

My car had HORRIBLE, BRAIN RATTLING, REAR DESTROYING WHEEL HOP!!! So, I recently installed relocation brackets (my car has stock ride height), and it seems to REALLY HELP. I rarely get wheel hop now, and when I do it is minor. I already had tubular LCAs on the car. It is certainly worth a shot before sinking money into a torque arm.

Try the Edelbrock torque arm.. it can be beat for the $$ and totally elimanted the wheelhop i had left after the LCA's and stuff..

And if your car is lowered then the Relocation Brackets are needed.. you want you LCA's to be as level as possible..
