Huge wheel hop

My back tires are spinning all the time, my tires are in good condition, and i'm not flooring it. The engine is powerful, and I want to be able to feel it. What can I do to keep my *** on ground?

Traction Bars? Trailing Arms? Panhard Rods? Will any of this work? and also, I need new gas shocks....any suggestions?

Thanks

i had wheel hop on my 1988 iroc-z inconjunction with a bad tranny mount!!

i tired changing shocks that did that help, and i finally bought lakewood rear lower control arms, and that fixed the problem..

on my 1991 formula i plan to get sophn rear lower control arms and the relocation brackets!! no more wheel hop and better traction..

You say wheel hop, but just describe some tire spin. Do you have the hard up and down bouncing? What tires are you using? LCA relocation brackets will help a wheel hop problem greatly. Oh, and you really need to learn that cAmAro has 2 A's. If you drive a camaro you at least need to spell it correct.
