Need help fighting wheel hop

I have have had two three fbody's now and have had the same problem with each, wheel hop. I had a 2000 3.8L turbo camaro M5 with 3.73's, Auburn Pro series LSD, BMR LCA's, BMR PHR, BMR TQ arm, and eibach pro kit springs and had violent wheel hop(mainly one jolt when shifting from one gear to anther).

I now have an 02 Z28 w/ BMR Lca's, BMR adj. PHR, 4.10's, and an Auburn series LSD. Befor I put in the gears and LSD I had no wheel hop or jolt upon release of the clutch when racing.

Can you guys offer any help on what I can do to the suspension to eliminate this?

Re: Need help fighting wheel hop

You might want to invest in a set of Lower Control Arm relocation brackets. It will lower the back of the control arm and move you instant center. If you have lowered the car, it is pretty much a must. But they will help even on a car that is not lowered.
