some say control arm bushings help
Im a Xbox 360 fanboy...and damn proud of it!!
control arm bushings will help, having stiffer springs, and struts will also help.
are you drag racing it?

Bushings would be the first thing I would change: upper and lower motor mounts, tranny mounts, control arm bushings, and sway bar link ends. After that stiffer springs and struts. Sub frame connectors also reduce chassis flex, which may reduce wheel hop.
Heavier wheels help. I went from stock 14" steel wheels to alloy z24 wheels, and wheel hop is almost non existent now.
Control arm bushings do help, but be sure you have access to an arbor press or the know how to install/remove bushings on your a-arm.
Stiffer springs definatly help as well, after I put on my H&R's and the prothane bushings I have no wheel hop anymore.

flat low-profile tires...like a 205/40/17 that also helps it a lot, and lowering springs...such as eibach sportline springs...or whatever the lowest ones are, that is what I have, and there isnt any wheelhop here.

do you ever notice that the ones who talk the loudest have the least to talk about?
