Default Wheel hop

After doing a couple of mods on my car it developed some nasty wheel hop.So I installed Umi Lca's and a Umi Phr. This eliminated the wheel hop during a straight run but now I have wheel hop when I take off while making a turn. So I bought some Bilstein HD shocks.As of right now I only installed the rear shocks. The wheel hop has been reduced, but it is still there. What else could I do to completely eliminate the wheel hop. Torque arm?

adjustable torque arm or relocation brackets

i went with relocation brackets since my car is lowered, and no wheel hop at all.
i will be doing an adjustable torque arm in near future though just to help ease tension on rear end.

ditto! ...just get all the suspension parts back there and your problems will be solved (hopefully)... some sticky tires can never hurt as well

That statement is only true if you have a 9" or S60 rear axle!
