Default Wheel Hop

I have had my 2000 WS6 for five years and just did some minor performance ugrades to it as well as a new clutch. My car seems to have a ton more power now but the wheel hop is brutal, what should i do about it, will traction bars take care of it and what kind are the best, i dont mind paying more for quality.
Thanks

Get a Poly tranny Mount, that should cure your wheelhop issues, also some lca brackets, and the lca's and a panhard bar, Also a BMR tq arm.

What you are looking for is a control arm relocation bracket!!
Changes the angel of the control arm.
Wheel hop is common after lowering the car because the angel of the control arm is to low.

Wheel hop is when rather than your tires just spinning, they spin and bounce.. Meaning the wheels actually bounce up and down to the point that your transmission starts hitting the floor pans and it sounds like the glass is about to shatter. Great way to blow out U-joints and eat up rearends.
STick your fat girlfriend in the back, thats the quickest cure.
