Default Wheel Hop wont stop!

I have a '00 WS6 A4, put on a set of Lakewood lower control arms. It did not seem to help much. How can I fix the wheel hop. <img border="0" alt="[whiner]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cry.gif" />

Most effective way is to add anti-squat brackets...they let the rear end of the LCAs drop lower to plant the rear end on a launch.
Another item that will help eliminate it is an aftermarket torque arm.
I have BMR products on my car and am very pleased with them. G2 makes excellent products also.

I just got my car out of the shop today. I had an HP Motorsport Mega-Bite Torque arm installed and changed out my bolt in SFC for weld in type. I took the car out with cold nitto's with 25psi, and launched at 4500rmp and the thing hooked harder then before with hot nitto's and 20psi. I will post my 60ft times after some track time this saturday.

I had this pretty bad as well and then I added BMR Tub LCAs and Relo Brackets and heavy ZR1 11" rims with 315 Nittos and now I hook like a **** and no more hop. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
