Not sure about those but my grandpas Monte Carlo had a ton of wheel hop and we installed some rear control arm relocation brackets. They are much stronger than the factory rear end steel and fixed his wheel hop tremendously. Car hooks up a lot better. It changes the angle of the lower control arm. If you do run a rear sway bar off of the control arms it will lower it a few inches. We installed umi relocation brackets

What else are you upgrading in addition to going this route?

Going to use the UMI links between the uppers and lowers. We already have adjustable uppers and lowers with sway bar.

I used the ones from JT Racecraft, but, I just looked and they no longer offer them on the website.

Once you get into the low 12s bracing the frame is a pretty good idea.

I bought a set of the JT Racecraft braces last year, but have not installed them yet. I have to get the car off jackstands before I can get close to 12s.

I have no idea how fast it will be, but I'd assume 12's depending on how well it hooks. It'll spend most of it's time on the street with occasional strip time. We're expecting 650-700whp. Maybe more if we decide to turn it up (boost).

I like every one involved (both the owners of HRparts and TR custom parts are great guys) and the price is right. If I had a Lift, I would order them tonight.

There are a couple areas that take the brunt of a hard launch and that is definitely one of them.

I found the same lack of availability at JT Racecraft. Were they similar to the ones I linked? These seem like a good piece. Until I found these I was going to make something to accomplish the same thing.

With that kind of HP you need some help back there. I run them along with the upper & lower connectors. If you look there isn't much there and I've seen some mounts ripped out. 12's ?? - with 650 HP - your single digit capable !!
