Very bad tire hop how can this be fixed
Well my friend and I put smaller tires on the back of his camaro so his speed would be more legit and now it woubles alittlebit at slower speeds and has bad tire hop how can the tire hop be reduced or eliminated is there a real eazy way like letting pressure out of the tires or putting more pressure in it?

You changed suspension geometries. Smaller tires could effect camber, toe in, gear ratio, etc. I would stick with Stock size tire unless you have a very good purpose on this.
Smaller tires don't bite as well either, so you're having less grip, less grip means more slippage, and your problems.

That'* gotta look kinda goofy.....But from the sounds of it you could maybe benefit from traction bars? Or just deal with the speedo being off?
