Looking to stop wheel hop

So I'm on the journey to stop the wheel hop in my car, I recently installed BMR trailing arms hoping they would help me out. They did help a little bit but there is still a lot of wheel hop. What should I do next? Ive been hearing some say to do bushings but not to sure

Did you do the outer trailing arm bushing when you added the trailing arms? I just did my cradle + diff bushings as well as my trailing arms and outer bushings. I never really had any wheel hop issues on the street before and I have not been able to make it out to the drag strip yet to know if its improved. But the car maintains traction better than it did even with my worn tires. There also does not seem to be as much weight shift Rear to Front to Rear when I shift during hard accelerations. The car does not break loose either during hard accelerating even shifting at redline. Overall it feels more planted and stiff. It reminds me of driving a lowered car although im at stock ride height. Once I get some runs at the drag strip Ill post up how it feels there. I did a write up of my bushing install if you want to look at whats involved in replacing them.

When I did my trailing arms it helped with hop. Then when I did the outer bushing and the toe rods the car felt slot more planted.

This is critical. Without the outer bushing you are not accomplishing much.

You need to change your Cradle Bushings. Preferably our Full Pro Versions BK024

I didn't change the bushings yet I'm looking to do that within the week, I'm probably going to end up changing the cradle and diff bushings as well, that's what ive been hearing is the best option

Save the diff bushings for last and only if you need them. The do a lot of NVH dampening and going harder almost always results in more noise and vibration. Definitely get those trailing arm outer bushings and the rear cradle. Most of the time that will take care of wheel hop. From there toe rods and LCA bushings.
