Default need help stoping my sh!ty ghey wheel hop :/

ok, Ive done a fair amount of research on why wheel hop occurs and what I can do to stop it.

heres what I have:
200+whp n/a b series
welded diff
tein basics up front
max speed coilovers and illuminas in the rear with extended top hats


car rides nice, smooth not bouncy at all and it pretty low (top of tire is just under fender)

tires are 215/45r15 up front 205 50's in the back

energy suspension mount insert on tranny mount, window weld in tq supports and driver side mount
still wheel hop
I filled my rear motor mount with pl construction adhesive (85a hardness) feels alot better but still has wheel hop :/

wheel hop occurs when Im mildly into it, in the wet or dry. if I stomp on it it spins nice and smooth.

cars alignment is straight, could be a very slight amount off

no camber kits

I dont know if its wheel hopping because of the low profile of the tires or if its a suspension issue?
or do i just need to buy a set of traction bars? iv heard that they are just hype but im down to try anything to fix this

(and I know my suspension setup is ghetto but thats what happens when you buy used parts that blow out )

It' might be worn out bushings in front Lower control arms. I think when i replaced mine a while ago, I started getting less wheelhop. Just a thought..

thanks, I was also wondering if too much tire pressure could cause this?
I will problably replace my lca bushings when I put ex lca's in so I can run a front arb

I had zero wheel hop with Full-Race traction bars on my car when it was boosted. Just lots of tire spin.
