I used to have pretty bad wheel hop on launches 40k miles on suspension. Even at higher rpm launches, so I did some upgrading.

Unobtanium diff bushings and Pettit trailing arms got rid of wheel hop. Also try launching at a higher rpm. I launch on street tires around 3800 rpm and the car just hooks up and flies. I have drag radials (Nittos) and they need to be launched slightly higher, but I have not heated them up properly (read: no big burn out yet).

I am waiting for my toe links, but I don't suspect that will change how the car launches, but my stock ones need to be replaced, so i am hoping that a clunk that I have disappears when they are installed.
