You usually have to do more than just suspension work to get rid of wheel hop. Stiffer engine / trans mounts along with a better suspension helps.

There is not much you really can do and keep a soft streetable ride.
I just go easy on the gas and avoid wheel hop all together,

hmmm no if they spent the time making this car right it would have no wheel hop but since its a super cheap plastic box its built like poop just forced out fast!
every thing is starting to rattle and click and i hardly beat on the car nice space so so MPG handles pretty well but i dunno
