All the normal suspension mods will take car of that.. Lower control arms, panhard rod, subframe connectors, lowering springs, relocation brakets for the LCA's if you're going to lower it... A good set of shocks will help too, maybe Bilsteins or Koni's...

imho, changing the torque arm and tranny mount are the two most effective mods to reduce wheel hop.
