okay I replace my rear subframe bushings and rear trailing arm bushings..which I wouldn't recomend unless they were litterally falling apart....and I still have wheel hop!!!! I've tried stiffening my KYB AGXs and still no go!!...I'm wondering what else could be the problem...the only things that I haven't changed out in the rear end are the right and left differntial mounts, the strut mounts, and the anti-swaybar...I'm guessing it could be anyone of those, or all of them...would a broken bump stop cause wheel hop?.....I'm wondering if you can tell just by merly looking at these pieces...if so I'll take some pics of my strut mounts, and r/l differntial mounts....this is driving my crazy!!!!!
Have you checked tire pressure in the rear tires? If they are uneven it may cause hop. Also try experimenting with the pressure, raising it and lowering it. A broken bump stop wont cause hop.....Not too sure about the R & L diff mounts.

yep pressure is equal, tried it at the drags with mt nitto extreme drags at 25 psi and it did it...also at the autoX with my Potensa Re92 at 42 psi and it still did it...
When I lowered my car, the wheel hop nearly went away. Now, with a lot stickier tires, I get it occasionally if I drop the clutch too hard. That is from my car hitting the bumpstops hard when I launch. Stiffer springs and shocks would fix that problem, but driving style can fix it too.
Try being smoother when you let out the clutch. It doesnt really have to be slower, just smoother at the engagement point.

**** that's kind of disturbing. Ever since I upgraded my clutch I got SCARY wheelhop. If I drop it from anything over2k it's hop city. That's how I broke my second differential mount
Have you gotten an alignment recently?
