1) LCA relocation brackets (rear link geometry)
2) adjustable, stiffer torque arm (geometry, flex)
3) stiffer LCAs (component flex)

I have wheel hop on my car too. Just ordered the adj. SLP torque arm. Going to see if that works, if not. I'll just get LCA's. One mod at a time!

Well they should work, but you're probably safer to get relo brackets from the same place you're buying the LCA's

Cheaper route that worked for my friend on his 02 SS. He just changed the stock rubber torque arm bushing to a polyurethane one. No more wheel hop for him. Maybe he just got lucky. Who knows, you can try this and if doesnt work then you already have a poly bushing for your new torque arm
