I used Spohn TAs but should be the same as BMR.

I had ton of wheel hop before. It all went away after TAs.

I haven't had that much of spinning out of the stock Perellis but I'm only at about 410 rwhp and lowered tire pressure to about 25 psi. However, I haven't been getting my RPMs up well enough so my 60' and ET have been lacking. Once I start doing that then spin might be a factor.

The trailing arms do an awesome job of getting rid of the wheel hop but it sounds like you are having a traction problem not a wheel hop problem. I would look into getting a better set of tires to start out with and then move on to the suspension/chassis modifications.

I'm in the same boat. When I hit 2nd I get slip/grab through the entire gear.

I haven't upgraded control arms but I have the Hotchkis Race Pack kit installed. No wheel hop but lots of spinning when I put down some power, I believe upgrading my control arms will help keep the vehicle straight when the rear sways left or right when I put down some power.
My next upgrade will be bushings.
I believe if you don't have any suspension upgrades the control arms will help keep the rear straight, and will help with wheel hop too basically eliminates that wheel whobble to some degree, if you do some bushings I believe that will helps keep all the drivetrain, chassis frame, and diff from twisting which also assists with keeping wheels straight. Overall, the con is a stiffer drive (city roads have lot's of bumps, grooves and pot holes), but pro is the stifness provides a lot more control over the vehicle even if your wheels are spinning.
I've invested in suspension, so I can drive without all the fancy TC / Stabili----, posi-traction whatever, and the vehicle feels great, and the control is awesome.

Used to hop pretty bad on a hard launch or dropping the hammer from a roll in 1st. Hasn't hopped on me once since I installed the rear trailing arms (BMR) and that's my only suspension mod as of now.

You honestly can't go wrong with our BMR trailing arms (TCA026) when it comes to getting rid opf wheel hop, they are quite inexpensive, are pretty easy to install, and can be installed with simple hand tools. When you are ready for a set give me a call and we can get you taken care of.

i wonder if the BMR trailing arms will help from spinning after you leave the starting line? my car seems to spin after the initial hook.
