Default launching wheelhop ect

ok i drive a 92 integra i got a lsv motor NA around 200 wheel hp 145 trq im having problems leaving the line
set up
skunk 2 coilovers tockio blues
all new busshings front camber kit
lsd tranny ys1 jdm
full race traction bars
alligned
upper strut bar
thats it up front

still have 1st gear wheel hop (BAD) and spins no matter what at 6500 unless i pedal
so im just worried about the hop i figured the traction bars would elimnate that
if i can get rid of that hop my spinning through first may be helped alot what is left to do
i have slight play in RF upper ball joint??? its minimal could that cause car shaking wheel hop or maybe i need better struts??? any help on this whould be great o on kumo 205 50 15s but have had 14s and 16s same problem

dont traction bars have to be adjusted for them to work correctly? otherwise Id say maybe motor mounts are needed in your case as well. what clutch are you running?

Why you need suck a clutch when a stocker would be fine?

Somthing HAS to slip when launching. Either the clutch slips, wheels spin, or you bog the launch.

Wheelhop is like clutch chatter, either too much clutch or not enough HP.

Softer clutch, like a stocker

not soo much... radials still cause alittle bit of hop. and why not spend the extra few $ to get some slicks and much better 60's

yeah now what size slick for a factory 14in honda wheel that wont be larger taller than stock?? wider is fine ??
really lower than 15 psi that sounds way to low but maybe i def will try lowing more
OO and i changed that balljoint and still hops and struts are still very strong so i guess its gonna need a set of slicks... HELP ON CHOOSING A GOOD SET ?
