Everyone is going to tell you that whatever they have on their car is the best. You just need to look at the different Mfg and make your own decisions based on quality and price.
I went with Spohn and have been completely happy. Had wheel hop at the track and these took it away. Of course rearend bushings are going to be something to consider as well as Toe Rods. My personal take is Trailing Arms first....they are cheapest and easy to install. Then Rearend bushings. Then Toe Rods. http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showth...ighlight=spohn

I don't lnow what you have done to your car already but I would start with the rear sub frame bushings and the rear diff. bushings they are a must do on the new camaro's if you are doing any type of racing,then build from there.

There are a few ways to go about getting rid of wheel hop and every situation is different depending on certain variables. I would start out by putting a set of BMR trailing arms (TCA026) on the car, they are inexpensive and very easy to install and a lot of times will completely take care of wheel hop. If the car is a manual transmision car or is making a good bit of power it may take more like our BMR toe rods (TR002) and BMR pro rear cradle bushing kit (BK030). Give us some details on the car and I can definitely lead you in the right direction.

We have had a ton of customers come to us with this very same problem. We are happy to say that our trailing arm solution mitigates any type of wheel hop you have, just like the article that Chase posted.
The Pfadt trailing arm takes a different approach to the design, and comes with the added bonus of being licensed by General Motors Performance Parts. Take a look below. Designing this part to be both lighter weight and higher strength then the factory component proved to be rather difficult, but was well worth the time involved, as we feel it resulted in the best replacement trailing arm on the market. Here are some details: 300% strength increase in tension and compression 65% reduction in deflection 20% weight reduction each, including bushings (take a look at the comparison pictures!) Grease fitting for easy lubrication Polyurethane trailing arm bushing kit is included Powder coated silver |

Wheel hop isn't just one part. It is in the drive-line and suspension. It is influenced by driving style, wheels and tires. It is a harmonic instability that starts small and reverberates, grows and finally explodes into potentially destructive vibration. Before we start selling you parts, maybe we should ask you about your particular situation?
1. What is your RWHP? 2. What is your wheel and tire package? 3. Is the wheel hop at the track or on the street? 4. Is the wheel hop temperature sensitive? ie. cold days, goes away when your tires are hot... 5. What RPMs are you luanching at? |

All the suspension vendors here will provide a good solution for wheel hop by providing their rear trailing arms.
The main question you want to ask yourself is: "Which one looks the best?" My answer: PFADT They look awesome under your car cause they resemble a real structural member.
