Bad Wheel Hop Please Help

I have a 91 RS that I put a 350 in. It wheel hops horribly. I have 2 options.

1.) Lower Control Arms With Relocation Brackets
2.) Adjustable Torque Arm

Which one would you choose? There is quite a bit of money difference in the two. Thanks.

Kevin

Go with the brackets and adj LCAs from Spohn. Thats the combgo I've got and it almost eliminated my wheel hop completely. The reason for the adj LCAs is if (like me) your installer didn't make absolutely sure that when he welded them in place that the geometry was correct. If you really want to completely emliminate wheel hop go with a tubular torque arm that mounts to the body not the tranny. But doing that is $$$. I just went for the poly bushing on the stock torque arm and I'm happy for now

I know this post is kind of old, but I was trying to search for my answer about my bad wheel hop also. Just put in springs,struts and shocks and went out for a race last night and i couldnt even go through all of first because the shaking was soooo bad. I had wheel hop before, and this felt 10times worse. Like something else was wrong.
A buddie told me to cut down on the bumper stops, since its lowered the car was probebly riding on them when I took off (had4 people in the car also). So I will try this sumtime next couple days. But is there anything else it could be??It felt liek the whole car was shaking apart. But from a roll it was perfectly fine. Thanks
