Need Wheel Hopping Help!

Hey guys, just threw on a new pair of Yokohama A520's on the front (225/50-16). They feel great, look great. But I was hoping that it would solve my axle tramp problem...you know wheel hopping, or whatever you call it. I launch the car as smooth as I can, and as I floor it, above 3,500 it starts to hop and make the that awful noise.....how do you solve this problem. When I had my Toyos, it would hold off til later in the powerband, but now, it's worse, so I have to be more gentle on the pedal. Do I have to lower the car (lower the center of gravity)....how do I stiffen up the chassis so I can actually get a great run in 1st gear? I don't spin my wheels anymore cause I don't want to pay $340 again for two new tires.

I heard that aftermarket motor mounts will help with the wheel hop.
