Wheel Hopping.......

What is the best solution for wheel hopping?
-lower control arms?
-torque arm?
-panhard bar?
-a combination of all three?

Currently I have the stock 275/40 Eagle tires. For right now I don't mind if the tires spin because I also still have the stock rear, but I'm just tired of the wheel hopping under hard acceleration. I guess I'm just looking to fix the problem without buying crap I really don't need.

I've read the stickies and polls and still can't decide on what to go with. Thanks everybody

Relocation brackets->Control arms->tq arm. In that order. Not saying buy them all at once, but try the relocation brackets first, if that dosent help move onto the next.

That's what I did but it didn't stop until after the torque arm.

$60 airbags did the trick for me

I had wheel hope pretty bad. Just put in some LCA's and did the TA and PHB. GONE! If you don't plan to lower the car get a non-adj TA it'll save you a nice chunk of money. Also if you haven't lowered the car skip the LCA reloc brackets. You can always add them later.

I think LCAR brackets are the best mod you can do for staight line traction. Also, get an ADJUSTABLE TA. You'll be glad you did. I wouldn't buy an aftermarket one unless it was adjustable, but I would buy a non adjustable panhard rod.
