Default Wheel hop getting worse...

So I was experincing some wheel hop, Installed the DC Hasport Kit (not a funky swap just a 98 US ITR swap in a DB8 chassis).. the wheel hop went away for awhile but now its back and slowly getting worse and now recently has a skipping sound every hop, I did have a broken rear mount so maybe it put alot of stress on my axles? I do feel some vibrations at low rpm acceleration.. Its not my transmission cause I had it pulled and checked, the hasports are still solid the engine does not move... I'm worried about the skipping sound like i broke something and its banging against each other.. the car feels solid until the tires brake loose... it has 01 JDM ITR springs/struts... so what should i do... replace axles? suspension/bushings? traction bar?

please help!
thanks

also check for your wheel to be balanced!

Wheel hop is hard on axles. Just my opinion tho. When I was NA, I could wear em out pretty fast. (inner hubs) Now that Im boosted and have a jimfab, its been a while since Ive had to replace em.
