altho the package will do some good, drag bags will do more. also IMHO you can do better in pricing than the pedders kits. the swaybar and endlink bushings are extremely marginal. i've done just about everything to the rear suspension and i can say the best cures (not bandaids) for hop are (in order of importance): TIRES (if you don't spin you don't hop), bags, shocks, x-member bushes, harrop cover, springs, optional diff insert if you don't have the Harrop, inner and outer control arm bushes and one piece drive shaft

No issues here "yet" with wheel hop, however my 06 GTO (M6) does not truly hook-up until the higher RPM’s of 2nd. Questions is; will Drag Bags help to minimize wheel spin? If so I will order them PDQ…Thanks for the feedback…

I like the 1 1/2 pedders drag springs along with all of the pedders rear suspension goodies.

Also, have heard about an aftermarket solid rear suspension set up, any updates?
DRAG Bags may help a little with your M/6

oh my you drank the kool aide no, pedders (or anybody else's bits) will HELP but it's no cure. in cause you've tuned in late it's spinning of the tires and the IRS that cause the problem. up the power, you'll get hop back.

even peddlers say that you need more stuff than they sell and their bits will only help. at 475 with just a pedders kit i'd say you either have an auto, great tires or you haven't given it a hard launch at the track. i just don't want someone thinking that if they get the super macho strip III that it's the end all of solutions. there are people with just tires and bags getting the same result as you at the track but they launch really well too on great tires.

NOw I know that my stock clutch will not hold the power. So I will let you know how well my pedders goodies work after I get a new clutch. I did get to do a 4500 rpm dump but the clutch slipped in first I ran a 12.40

a good set a springs and shocks and Rear cross-member to chassis bushes will eliminate axle tramp in most cases
