Some stiff *** springs and adjustable shocks might help.

you could also potentially replace the suspension bushings with aftermarket, or if they are unavailible, you could replace with newer OEM ones... depending on your current milage and how hard you've driven it the 2nd option may or may not make much of a difference

Yeah, the major thing is making sure your shocks are up to the task of controlling your springs.

If you're still having problems, inspect the joints/bushings on either end of the radius arms - if they're in good shape it should go a long way to controlling wheel hop. And then look at replacing/upgrading all the other misc. suspension bushings.

I don't know about you but when I put some grippier tires on I increased my wheel hop problem.

No one has mentioned this so I will. Adjust tire pressure, and work on launching better. Thats all...

I run 37/36pri F/R on my SH.

Wouldn't you want more tire pressure in the rear?

No, lower in the rear so it oversteers. I want the rear tires to "roll over"

Ultimatley you could achieve the same effect by having higher pressure in the rear, lower in the front. Its just a matter of driving preference.

That's what I meant, lower in front and higher in back - this is for the track though I wouldn't drive around town and on the highway like that.

Most people actually run higher in the front on the track. There are a few who like the rears higher.

Its two different styles I guess...
