Major Wheel Hop, HELP!!

when i take off 85-90% of the times I tried to peel out all i feel is wheel hop, can it be that i have alot of weight in my trunk with the amps box and battery? and spare tire? I know that a car will lift its front end on take off and it helps to have batterys ran to the trunk for weight distrabution but maybe i have too much back there? Let me know what yall think tkx

What condition are your tires in? I doubt weight influences it that significantly. I have 17s in good condition and mine tend to hop a little before they chirp on hard clutch drops.

That's where your problem is..... put aftermarket struts (spell: Illumina) and let us know how it goes.
