control arms?

I noticed the wheel hop issue after driving my 06 SS S/C for only a day. I had massive wheel hop in my 98 camaro and was able to fix it with some edelbrock control arms. the stamped steal ones did nothing, and the edelbrock ones made wheelhop obsolete. i was wondering if there is anything out there for our cars to stop or help prevent this wheel hop? i'd rather spin them, then have them hop all over the place. just curious as to what other suspension parts are out there aside from springs/shocks and strut tower braces.

P.S. i'm also assuming that suspension work would not void the warranty?

umm.....93+ F-bodies have a SLA front suspension with control arms (I think I phrased that right) on the front but just a solid rear axle at the rear.

How would changing control arms help a RWD car??

the 4th gen f-bodies came with stamped steal control arms in the rear that helped control the back end. the stamped steal was WAY to flexible. with stronger control arms in the rear (connected the subframe to somewhere near the rear axles...it was a while ago) there was no flex in the control arms and the wheels stayed planted under hard acceleration. i am not very familiar with fwd cars and how their suspension is set up.
