I'm not sure if this belongs here, in aftermarket performance, or in Brakes, Suspension, etc. so if it's in the wrong place I apologize and please move it to the proper forum. Thanks, mods.

I've heard it said before that you can upgrade or tune your suspension to reduce wheel hop, but I though wheel hop was caused by too much grip and not enough power behind it. So unless you were going to reduce the about of grip, wouldn't the only other real solution be to increase power? Suspension tuning is not my area of expertise so I'm probably totally wrong here. Someone care to explain or share how you reduced the 8's tendency to wheel hop?

I got Tein S-Tech springs and they slightly reduced the wheel-hop on my 8.

Sway bars have been reported to work very well for this.
