Aftermarket Lower Control Arms will take care of most of the problem. Try those first, if that isn't enough, you may need upper control arms as well. Look into BMR, they are reasonably priced and fairly easy to install so I've been told.

Any aftermarket lower controls arms should take care of the wheel hop. If you are lowered I would get some LCA relocation brackets (aka anti-squats). An adjustable upper control arm should compliment this setup nicely. YOu want either an adjustable upper control arm and fixed Lower control arms. OR adjustable Lower control arms and a fixed Upper control arm. You want some adjustablility.

Steeda is REAL proud of their stuff.
I have BMR fixed LCA's with poly on both ends, and an adjustable UCA with poly as well. 0 wheel hop.

So you mean that the CHE ones are junk? (sorta speak) I don't want to get adjustable ones If I don't have to. I trying to do this with min effort and tools. Or I will have to take it to my Roush dealer and have them do it. So I figured if I get the non adjusting kind it should be a no brainer. And yes do one side @ a time.

I'm not saying CHE is junk. They make **** good stuff. Steeda is just super proud of their stuff, IE, wanting too much.
BMR and CHE are fine choices. But I'm not saying Steeda isnt. But why pay more when you can pay less and have just as good quality.
If you arnt going to drop your car, fixed will do the job. Hell, I installed my fixed LCA's, and ran with those for months, and still had no wheel hop. My UCA was just sitting in the box (ordered them at the same time) and I Was bored one day so I installed it.
So if you want to just do LCA's right now, you'll eleminate the wheel hop. And you can do it yourself, its super simple!

Like others have mentioned, LCA's
I have the che Adj. and have no more wheel hop. I did get a little at the strip on one launch, but Im pretty sure I farked that up considering the times I ran on that run, lol.
But other than that, no issues. previously it seemed the type of pavment you were on played a larger roll. Installed roush rear springs only and most of it seemed gone, but not all. added the LCA's and now it seems all to be gone.
