Wheel hop

I have noticed that C5's have a tendancy to wheel hop. What is the best mod to eliminate this problem?

I'll give you an example. I have a 1970 Chevelle SS that are notorious for wheel hop. A company called South Side Maching makes replacement lower control arms that mechanically loads the chassis when the rear axle twists under acceleration. I am not experienced with Corvettes and thought mayber someone else had a solution.
