what can i do to minimize wheel hope
I've tried every clutch release technique there is and multiple rpm's for launching my car. Under 3000 it bogs over 3500 just wants to spin and hop. I'm running 1" eibach lowering springs all around and koni adjustable shocks only on the rear with factory fronts. my rim/tires are 17" rims with falken's 24540R17.
I'm wondering if the stiff ness of the suspension and limited side wall flex is the problem and if investing in a set of 15 inch rims and drag slicks would eleveate the hop.

not yet affraid to take much stiffness out of them they didn't really need compressed all that much to put the top cap on the spring affraid they will start to float like the factory shocks did was the whole reason i bought them in the first place just a cheap quick fix till i get the money for a full coilover set up

Try replacing all the drivetrain mounts with stiffer or solid ones, same for the subframe and rear control arms. Wheel hop happens at least partly becuase of felxibility in the drivetrain and suspension.
