After my upgrade to the LS and Posi, I have WICKED wheel hop. Whats the bes way to do this? I want a pro-touring theme, but will be driving mostly on the road with a few trips here and there to the strip.
Thanks for any help.

No pics but if you like at it sideways the part with the fork on the end is the bottom.
The bottom bolts to the webbing on bottom of the diff. The top part is solid and bolts into your upper control arm. The bushing on the diff is knocked out and replaced with a bolt in the middle ( had to tell in the pic from summit ).
Essentially using these no-hop bars the upper control arms are raised above the diff housing. As you "load up" the suspension it raises the rear of the car eliminating the wheel hop as your wheels are forces into the ground.
I have seen them on a couple cars ( and on my own ) and it works well

The wheel hop is probably being caused by the rubber bushings deflecting and moving around. That happens with rubber stock bushings. You just need to get rid of the rubber bushings and replace them with poly or delrin. We use delrin since we've torn the poly on some cars (even slow cars) by pushing the steel sleeve right through the poly.
