Maximas? Bad wheel hop? I don't think so
 
Ok, I have owned several cars in my day, some have had worse wheelhop than others. I had a Golf that had virtually no wheel hop, a b12 Sentra that had wheelhop, and my Maxima which I thought was the worst wheel hop ever.

Until I saw these youtube videos and loled my *** off:

when he misses the street and has to back up? yeah, that is really bad wheel hop, but there's so much smoke and burning rubber it looks cool anyways, haha.

If your wheel hop is that severe! I would suggest you switching to adjustable struts/w lowered springs or coilovers! Along with replacing any worn bushing!
What the hell was that shaking on the CTS-V frame during the wheel hopping incident? That strut/tension rod looked like it was gonna break something with all that flexing and bending....bush it with some poly!

Ok, ok, not so much wheel hop but it is a hop. I saw this last night at work and thought it was great.
