What type of track (drag vs auto-x)?
Daily driver? What wheels and tires do you have? What power levels are you looking to reach? Do you currently have any other mods? Here's a link to some suspension setups with everything you might want to replace highlighted in red: https://www.wretched.co/tech-talk-main/tech-talk-camaro

One of the best things you can do is Trailing Arms. Good thing is there cheap, easy to install, and don't require an alignment. After that look at getting some cradle bushings. You'll be surprised at how much those two alone will help.
If you want someone to call and talk to give www.jdpmotorsports.com a call.

Caverman gave some good advice. To resolve wheel hop issues, most folks start with a good set of Trailing Arms and the Outer Bushings. Other components that can contribute to wheel hop are the Cradle Bushings, Rear Upper Control Arm Bushings, and Toe Rods. Of course, all these components don't necessarily need to be changed all at once, but depending on your budget and the amount of time you want to spend under your car, it is certainly more convenient to do it all at the same time. And if you're looking for improved track performance (I'm assuming auto-x or road course), I would highly recommend upgrading the sway bars, which are the biggest "bang-for-your-buck" suspension upgrade. Here's a list of the recommended BMR Components (prices can be found on our website).....
