I have a 19 gt and had a vortech si jt installed. I’m making 659 rwhp, I’m planning on getting a fore fuel system in the future so I can hit my goal of 900 rwhp. I know I can get a lot more then 900 but that’s all I really want. I don’t want a track only car. The main issue I’m having right now is wheel hop. It wasn’t bad before the sc but now it’s very noticeable and it’s very annoying. Does anyone know what I need to get to stop it? I don’t want to get a whole suspension kit. Just something to stop the hop.

I just supercharged my car and installed Steeda vertical links and Steeda Subframe Braces. The combination made a huge difference and didn't cost all that much. I'm no expert but that's what I'd start with.

You never mentioned that. Anyways, bias plies. You'll have zero wheel hop.
With radials you'll need 3 k in suspension parts just to somewhat reduce it.

I'm running Michelin Pilot Sports.
I got the Firestone Indy 500 tires. Made a huge difference from the cup 2s. I now only spin through second and halfway through third. Lol, probably cause it’s still cold here. But a ton better then the cup 2s we’re.
I’d love mickeys but I still have a stock clutch and half shafts, to good of grip will probably break em. I’ll replace them as I get more cash but I’m doing all the supporting mods before any more power.

Out of these 2 different suspension products which one would work the best. Bmr cradle bushing lock out kit or billet aluminum vertical links?

I'd go with the cradle lock out first between those two choices. You want to secure the subframe and remove deflection in the suspension components to remove wheel hop. Next, I'd replace both the toe link bushing and the rear lower control arm bearings. Neither are that expensive, both involve a bit of labor to replace. The below video is for a Cobra IRS setup, but the theory applies to the IRS in our cars - watch first 4 minutes, then fast forward to 12 minute mark.



Also a good s550 specific video
