Best Mods to cure wheel hop and rear squatting

I just wanted to get your opinions on which mods will best improve wheel hop control and rear squattting on an 06, six speed car. Things like a one peice drive shaft, the harrop diff cover, pedders bushings, and the BMR rear sway bar all claim to help but what really works? Thanks for the info in advance. Also, have heard about an aftermarket solid rear suspension set up, any updates?

The squating issue is due to the springs.

As for wheel hop there is no all in one cure all for that. A Harrop cover will help but it is more so a combination of parts that really help. Just springs, bushings and a cover will make alot of difference.

I've added BMR drag bags and Pedders "0" drop rear drag springs and that has helped a lot.

drag bags do a good job with the wheel hop and also with the sagg, so all in all not to bad for $100

People keep saying drag bags but why buy a $30,000 car then band-aid fix the suspension?

Spend the money on upgrades.

Check out the pedders street 1 package. That's next on my list of upgrades. I would also add the rear sway bar and endlink bushings as well.
