What's the best first mod for this? Looking at bmr cradle lockout kit, steeda subframe brace, their bushing kit, vertical links. What do you guys find works best?

Using youtube videos to see what IRS parts move the most during wheel hop, I have made my list:

1) Cradle bushing lock out and subframe alignment (Done) -

2) Differential bushing lockout kit -

3) Rear lower control arm spherical bearings -

If the above doesn't fully cure the problem, upper control arms and vertical links will follow.
BTW, traction control can produce wheel hop while trying to do its job - make sure it's completely off.

Tackle it step by step. Wheels and tires have been known to solve some of the cases out there, more specifically, a DR. If you aren't willing to go to a DR, then you're going to have to use the above methods, most likely.

Finally got around to installing the bmr lockout kit. It had the best price and reviews. Took me about an hour n a half using 3 Jacks and a impact gun. No more hopping and chirping on launch. Just a slight wheel spin and the car takes off like it should.

I am planning on doing a combination of BMR parts and Full Tilt Boogie Racing parts.

Question I had about the pumpkin, if we upgrade to the 9", are folks drilling it out to do a bolt thru setup like the 8.8? Or does it come that way already?
