When I launch my car seems to get EXTREME wheel hop under the rear wheels. Are there any parts I can purchase to correct this?

Well, you can always drop the rear tire pressure down to say like 20 psi or so. Since you are of course drag racing at a drag strip. also subframe spacers tend to help. Another thing that might help is to run a higher profile tire if you are running like a 35-45 series sidewall..

ya mine does this too. Im going to be replacing rear struts soon and ill post if it helps. Subframe spacers....those are those things that you see right between the floorpan and the rear subframe?
