You'll notice that after the first post in every thread, theres an automatic 'ADBOT' post, that generates revenue for the site. It's pretty lame but you can't do much about it.
Just a hint, if you're looking for something you think might be asked frequently, try searching. I did for you and this is what I came up with:
Event:
rksport a-arms 400$ really top wise effective.
regular poly bushings 40$, arms still flex, but def 70% of rksport a-arm effectiveness.
front strut brace 30$-100$, helps the subframe brace
subframe brace, can be MADE for 7$ helps the strut brace
non worn struts, 100$-250$ for just the front struts, stiffer springs less bounce
upper and lower engine mounts, aroudn 65$, keeps engine from rocking, less car motion
You guys know if you go premium you won't see the ADBOT
come on and support the org! Anyway tires and spring and strut combo affect wheel hop the most.

Tires, Struts, Bushings. Those items effect it the most IMHO (for what you're looking at).
a-arm bushings are the best cure
lowering(springs/struts) and engine/trans mounts also help
rk doesnt sell the tubular a-arms any more , to may problems with them breaking
for the mounts(or any parts) talk to either karo @carcustoms.net , or jim @ gravanatuning.com , arron @turbotechracing.com

FACT
a-arms may be good if you dont put alot of stress and driving on em, but if you are racking easily 30k or more a year, i wouldnt chance it. i;ve had 2 of the 3 designs and so far its shown that all three have failed.
hopefully they come with a more stress effective design in the future, but its questionable cause alot of their focus is now on other cars as well as the new gm stuff like the cobalt.
